What to expect
Visitors tour an interactive exhibit featuring the story of real-life pirate "Black Sam" Bellamy and his fabled beloved Maria Hallett. Visitors will be able to see and touch real pirate treasure from the wreck of Bellamy's ship, the Whydah Gally. The Whydah was a slave ship-turned pirate ship which wrecked off of the Cape Cod coastline in 1717 following a violent storm. Artifacts and real treasure have been pulled from the bottom of the ocean...surrounded by sharks...following the discovery of the ship's bell in 1984 by famed underwater explorer Barry Clifford. The exhibit renews regularly with the discovery of new artifacts by onsite archaeologists which visitors can witness with their own eyes. A video, photo experience and retail gift shop round out the visit. Groups are welcome.

Fascinating! We’ll worth the trip to Salem. Great addition to this historic town. Stop at Lulu’s for coffee and a snack, before or after.

All of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. A staff member took my party on a tour and explained everything from the size of the cannons to the preservation process.

A must see if in Salem!The museum is wonderful in every aspect. I loved how they talked about the democratic aspects of pirate ships as well as enslavement during the 18th century. It is filled with amazing artifacts and props and lighting that bring the story of Captain Bellamy, the Whydah and his crew to life! 🏴☠️💓

It was totally worth the money to go and actually see and feel the real stuff instead of reproductions, especially treasure.

It was the highlight to our trip.Took my kids to see this new museum in Salem. Many fascinating exhibits featuring artifacts recovered from the wreck of Sam Bellamy's Whydah.
