From AudioFile:

Buried treasure, bearded pirates, slaves fighting for freedom, this story has all the elements of an engaging fictional fantasy. But it's a true account. Clifford, a modern-day treasure hunter, uncovered a pirate ship filled with treasure, sunk over 250 years ago. Clifford is a better ship excavator than reader. He plods through the script in a monotone, even in emotional and exciting places. His Northeastern accent is obvious, complete with dropping his "R's." This fascinating tale should be listened to for the lesson it teaches about perseverance, not for its production. A.G.H. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
