A newly discovered 300-year-old pirate burial site may be the largest-ever found on U.S. soil, according to archaeologists. More than 100 skeletal remains were found at the Massachusetts site, some of which might belong to Captain "Black Sam" Bellamy, thought to be the worlds richest pirate... "Over 100 pirates washed ashore on Cape Cod [after the wreck], and our team believe that we have located it," Casey Sherman, author and filmmaker who partnered with the research team, told The Telegraph... Bellamy and his crew are thought to have drowned in 1717, when their ship, the Whydah Gally, was wrecked. In order to confirm that some of the bones are in fact Bellamys, Sherman and researchers from the Whydah Pirate Museum have identified a descendent of the wealthy pirate in the U.K. who is willing to provide a DNA sample. "The descendant is a great-great-etc nephew of Sam Bellamy. Bellamy was one of several siblings," the museum commented on Facebook.

Not to change the subject but, 6 weeks for DNA results. We had OBL in a couple minutes- hours.

Wow. Interesting fellow, this Bellamy.
I am not very well read on pirates. I just got back to the thread after researching via the web.
Pretty cool stuff. Thank you sir.
And if you will, please add me to the ping list. Thanks again.

The stuff that the gubmint has is the most cutting edge. Also, doing DNA testing for mere science or (even moreso) for genealogy is not a rush job.

“Who buried the dead pirates”
The way I read it, they weren’t actually buried, but just washed ashore as a group and as time passed, nature “buried” them. Maube I’m wrong.

They found where they buried his booty?................
