Return to Treasure Island and the Search for Captain Kidd

Captain William Kidd sailed to the Indian Ocean on the "Adventure Galley", which was specially built to ransack trading ships. Soon, however, the "Galley" was under attack herself--from parasites--and eventually sank near a tiny, coral-fringed island off Madagascar that Robert Louis Stevenson would use as the setting for "Treasure Island". Stevenson’s obsession with the fate of the "Adventure Galley" led deep-sea explorer Barry Clifford and an exploration team on a harrowing three-year journey that was nearly derailed by politics, wild animals, and a lethal rivalry with a competing American archaeological team. This is a vivid description of Clifford's expedition, juxtaposed with the legendary Kidd’s exploits.
