White Slaves Pirate Gold

Synopsis

The discovery of a shipwreck off Salcombe in Devon, uncovers much more than a glittering haul of Islamic coins and jewellery - it also reveals a forgotten time, when coastal Europe lived in terror of the 'Barbary Pirates', buccaneers from North Africa. Was the wreck an infamous Barbary 'xebec', on its way to another slave raid?
