Talk:Whydah Gally

message: I can't seem to find the depth that the wreck lies in on any of the sources. If anyone has a source with this information, it is fairly important to the article. -Tombrend (talk) 08:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Depth

message: I like this article, but think it can be improved by formatting it like other articles in ths shipwreck category, highlighting the Construction, Working life, Pirate life, and Wreck.
I heard about this ship from a National Georaphic vid on YouTube (which is a teaser for a show on Monday Jan 21), and I'm sure that that show will recycle content from a previous NG show. 24.84.112.130 (talk) 00:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any more specific information about where she was built, rather than just "London"? Robkam (talk) 22:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: At which yard was she built?

message: Ehrlich, M. (1989). Early Akan Gold from the Wreck of the Whydah. African Arts, 22(4), 52-57+87-88. 
This article has many good facts about the ship and voyages it went on.  It also tells use about the treasures that were recovered from the shipwreck many years after it sank off Cape Cod.  It also tells us about were the ship was built and a little history behind that. Wfjones (talk) 20:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: History about the Whydah Gally

message: The "Archaeological evidence" section cites no sources and contains several suspect sentences, such as:
:In an age of austere Puritanism and rigid class hierarchy, this too was an act of defiance—similar in spirit, perhaps, to today's rock stars.
I placed the OR and Unreferenced Section tags on it. I googled some of the oddly worded phrases, and they do turn up elsewhere. But I avoided placing a Copyvio tag on it because I can't immediately verify which phrase appeared first and where.

replies: text: I have added two references to this section with respect to John King, both regarding the circumstances of his joining the Whydah's crew, and regarding the discovery of a child's tibia, stocking, and shoe. —grolltech(talk) 05:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I was doing some recreational reading and noticed that a bunch of info on this page comes from (or is duplicated in) The Whydah: A Pirate Ship Feared, Wrecked, and Found by Martin W. Sandler. Sadly, I don't have time to add the citations from it, but maybe someone else will. Rwelean (talk) 04:02, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  additional source 

message: Just a heads-up, but the Lawrence Prince that is linked as the commander of the Whydah is inaccurate. While both had the same name and operated around the same time, the Lawrence Prince who is linked was a privateer under Henry Morgan (so basically, a pirate), whereas the Whydah Gally's Lawrence Prince was a "law abiding" slave ship captain.
