Show Notes

Sir William Phips (1651-95) was born in Maine, then part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Despite being of humble origin, uneducated, and fatherless from a young age, he rapidly advanced from shepherd boy to shipwright, ship's captain, treasure hunter, the first New England native to be knighted, and the first royally appointed governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Captain Phipps was famous in his lifetime for recovering a large treasure from a sunken Spanish galleon in 1686.
