Barry Clifford who found the Whydah, just after a mysterious dispappearence of the Captain's log from the Boston Public Library, where it was kept under lock and key, off of Wellfleet, on the ocean side, is a Hanson, Mass. native. He still controls the entire area where the ship was found and in fact this year was going back to the location, because he found a couple of other areas nearby the original search and find zone that supposedly could yield a tremendous amount of gold from the Whydah that has yet to be located. There has to be on the shore in that area a tremendous amount of booty from the ship. The Whyday where it sunk is a quarter mile from shore or less. I know the Clifford family from high school and after. Most of the work getting the rust and crustaceans off of all that was recovered was done in a facilty in Plympton, Mass. I am not sure if it is done there still, but I would imagine it is.
