		The wreck was discovered in 1984 by Barry Clifford, a Cape Cod native, and its identity clinched soon after by recovery of the ship's bell, inscribed "The Whydah Gally - 1716", on site.
		The Whydah, doing business as a slave and gold trader, was taken by pirates led by Black Sam Bellamy just after the sale of a cargo of slaves at Jamaica.
		All pieces were recovered from the wreck of the pirate ship "Whydah", sunk off Cape Cod in 1717, and long a legend on the Cape.

		On April 26, 1717, the pirate ship Whydah Gally sank off Cape Cod.
		Although Cape Cod is inhabited all year round, it experiences a tourist explosion each summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day, as the New England cold gives way to a brief but comfortable summer.
		On May 15, 1602 Bartholomew Gosnold became the first European to discover Cape Cod.

		Since then, explorers have uncovered the ship's bell inscribed with ''The Whydah Gally 1716,'' along with more than 100,000 artifacts from the site, including a sword-sharpening wheel, cannons, lead shot, tens of thousands of coins and even the remains of a pirate's leg, still encased in silk stocking and a leather dress shoe, Clifford said.
		The discovery marked the most meaningful Whydah find since 1984, when Clifford discovered artifacts that indicated the ship sailed by English sailor Samuel ''Black Sam'' Bellamy was buried somewhere off the coast of Provincetown at the end of Cape Cod.
		Clifford said the 30-foot piece of wood discovered about 10 feet below the surface of the ocean floor appeared to be a section of the Whydah's powder room, covered with tin to keep explosives dry.
