The discovery of a shipwreck off Salcombe in Devon, uncovers much more than a glittering haul of Islamic coins and jewellery. It also reveals a forgotten time, when coastal Europe lived in terror of the “Barbary Pirates”, buccaneers from North Africa. Was the wreck an infamous Barbary “xebec” on its way to another slave raid?
