I wonder what the man on the right with the red cap from 01:01 to 01:10 min. holds in his hands. It seems to be of iron, but with a restored surface and the binding around it reconstructed.

That makes 3 of us who are wondering about that object. The museum is about 10 miles away from where I live. Maybe when they have a senior discount day I'll go down and ask about it.
Being a museum about a pirate ship the regular admission cost is piracy too!

Thanks again, Rick, for posting this. The 'man to the right' is Barry Clifford himself, discoverer of the Whydah, archaeologist, treasure hunter, author, museum founder and scalawag! He is a controversial man, with some run-ins with both state officials, other archaeologists and former employees, but I always liked the guy. Kind of a modern day pirate. BTW, after seeing this thread, I decided to purchase a couple of old bronze manilla as a tip of the hat to the African slaves who gained their freedom through piracy!
