Description
The Diamond Ship tells the story of Captain John Taylor and his historic pirate raid in 1721. This true account is one of the most exciting moments in pirate history, yet it was kept secret for over 300 years.
Captain Taylor's crew took a massive bounty that would have taken 48,000 years to earn on a sailor's wages. The diamonds were originally bound for the King of Portugal, but now they belonged to Captain Taylor and his men. But did he share them fairly with his crew? Find out what really happened.
This book is a fun and surprising look at pirate history, filled with interesting facts about pirates and their adventures on the high seas.
