  Captain William Kidd
By April 1697, the Adventure Galley was heading for the island of Madagascar, which was a famous pirate haunt at the time, so Kidd's crew could recover from the long journey across the Atlantic and pick up fresh provisions.
The crew of the Adventure Galley was suffering from scurvy and plague, and as a result almost 60 men died.
He deserted the leaking Adventure Galley, transferred all of his goods and crew onto his new ship, and set sail for the nearest port to cash in part of his large booty.

 Captain Kidd
On the fourth of July, 1696, Captain Kidd in the Adventure Galley glided into the harbor, and greeted the people of Manhattan with a couple of shots from his cannon to announce his triumphant return home.
As he had hoped, the boom of his guns stirred the merchants and the sailors out of their smoky lethargy in the taverns, away from the rent-a-pipe racks and tankards of cider, to come down to water's edge.
He also sent out some of his current crew to talk up the voyage; these Adventure Galley men whispered that the newly appointed (but not yet arrived) governor of New York, Lord Bellomont, was a backer of the voyage, as was Admiral Russel.

For undersea explorer Barry Clifford, the biggest prize of all would be to find the Adventure Galley, Kidd's legendary pirate ship.
The island's murky harbor is filled with sunken pirate ships, making it difficult to single out the Adventure Galley, and the shores are teeming with people who want the expedition stopped.
The result is a tale of treasure and adventure that ends in death -- both Kidd's and, three hundred years later, that of a rival archaeologist who attempts to stop Clifford's expedition.
