Legend and lore from the first settled region in the United States.

Blackbeard, the swashbuckling marauder, terrorized land and water from New Hampshire to Florida and left behind vast hidden loot. Pirates John Quelch and Joseph Braddish also accumulated millions, buried it on sandy beaches, and never returned to retrieve their hidden stashes.

In North Carolina, thieves lured unaware sailors off their course with mysterious lights on the shore. And in South Carolina, a lady pirate hoarded away millions in Charleston's low country.

Military ships from as far away as Spain often sailed along the coast carrying wealth to their homeland. These ships, which transported jewels, silver, gold, and other treasure, often crashed near the coast littering the sands with riches.

All along the Atlantic Coast lie tales of zealous pirates, unfortunate shipwrecks, and cryptic maps discovered in musty attics. From Maine to Florida, W.C. Jameson chronicles more than thirty stories of lost riches and forgotten stashes in this ninth Buried Treasure book. Although some treasure has been discovered over the years, many relics of the past still remain hidden, awaiting someone with luck and perseverance to discover them. Sunken ships and pirate stashes transport readers into an Atlantic treasure hunt for pirate gold! In addition, readers will learn the importance of courage, responsibility and resourcefulness.
