"Return To Treasure Island & The Search For Captain Kidd" by Barry Clifford

Captain William Kidd sailed to the Indian Ocean on the Adventure Galley, a vessel specially built to capture pirate ships. The voyage was a disaster, however, and the Adventure Galley eventually sank near a tiny, coral-ringed island off the coast of Madagascar.

Barry Clifford's obsession with her fate led to a harrowing three-year journey, sponsored by the Discovery Channel that was nearly derailed by politics, disease, wild animals, and competition from a rival archaeological team.

Return to Treasure Island and the Search for Captain Kidd vividly recounts the expedition, juxtaposing it with the legendary pirate’s exploits. A portrait of two determined, but very different, in pursuit of their own treasures, this fascinating and unpredictable true story ranks among the best adventure tales ever told, as the Project Team discovers more than it bargained for on both land and sea!
