Rayon t-shirt wearing 21st Century beantown tourists looked for the spot where fire-and-brimstone preacher Cotton Mather tried to save the souls of the six survivors of the Mary Anne and Whydah Gally shipwrecks set to be executed on November 15, 1717. The tide of the Boston Harbor was the foyer of the execution place which gave the men a small hope for flight with the ocean so close. Only six of the surviving nine were hanged because the court brought in the factor that some of the survivors had been kidnapped off of prize ships when the Bellamy ship crews were looking for boatwrights, carpenters, surgeons and other highly valued tradesmen to supplement the crews.
