Researchers date the exhibits in 1699 year .They refer them to the merchant vessel "Kedah merchant", which was captured by the notorious pirate captain William Kidd off the west coast of India, and then sunk off the coast of the Catalina island..Historians are still arguing about whether Captain Kidd was indeed a pirate or possessing permits from the authorities and in times of war attacked merchant ships of the enemy .After a loud trial and charges of piracy brought against him, William Kidd was publicly executed in London, and his body was left to hang over the Thames for two years to edify other pirates..
