Breaking Newstags: archaeology, DNA, Shipwreck, Black Sam Bellamy
Researchers are working to use DNA to identify whether a human bone recovered from a Cape Cod shipwreck belongs to the infamous pirate Samuel "Black Sam" Bellamy.
The Whydah (WIH'-duh) Pirate Museum in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, publicly displayed the bone Monday. It was found near what's believed to be Bellamy's pistol.
The objects were pulled from the Whydah Gally (GAH'-lee) shipwreck several years ago.
