What became of the sealed cannon that they drilled and scoped?

The treasure cannon is on display within the Whydah Pirate Museum. The gold, silver, jewelry, gem-encrusted goblet and silver plate are still in it; we would have to destroy this priceless cannon to extract the items, so we have chosen to leave it fully intact. The NBC program "Hunting for Treasure" which originally aired in 1995 when they scoped it plays on a TV above the cannon.

The move to the Hyannis Armory was cancelled. We chose instead to remodel the current museum in Provincetown this past winter and have brought in some Whydah artifacts that have just completed conservation, including another object which bears the "Whydah Galley" name on it.

Barry and his dive team have recovered more treasures and items from the Whydah this summer. We also have an 8-part documentary History Channel series airing every Saturday night at 9pm (est) called PIRATE TREASURE OF THE TEMPLAR KNIGHTS. This one is about our discoveries in Madagascar of Captain Kidd's ship Adventure Galley, and four other ships which according to the British Navy are all pirate ships: Mocha Frigate, New Saldado, Great Mahamed, and Fiery Dragon of William "Billy One Hand" Condon [Condent]. The team discovered a 110 pound block of silver and many objects affiliated with the Knights Templar among the artifacts of these ship wrecks.
