Highly recomended. Staff were super awesome. Very well done. A must see in Salem. I've seen some cool sunken treasure, but this is on a whole different level.

The exhibits detail the history of the pirate ship Whydah from her start as a slave ship to her capture and use as a pirate ship. The Whydah was wrecked on the coast of Cape Cod Massachusetts and rediscovered in the 1980s. Real Pirates Salem is an opportunity to see and actually touch artifacts recovered from the wreck. The interactive exhibits do a fantastic of explaining what real pirates were and what they did.
