Underwater explorer Barry Clifford has for nearly two decades led a full-time search for the enigmatic wreck and its treasure. Until now, the main body of the pirate ship has always eluded him, but today he has uncovered his beloved wreckage. THE BLACK SHIP is a book of adventure, history and underwater archaeology, a story that is dramatic, romantic and mystical, and a tale of two men separated by almost three centuries yet united by a common obsession.
