PROVINCETOWN – The pirates are moving out and the sharks are moving in.  The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy announced Thursday it had signed a lease with Barry Clifford to take over space now occupied by the Expedition Whydah Museum on MacMillan Pier in Provincetown. Clifford, who discovered the pirate ship Whydah in 1984, has had the Provincetown museum for over 20 years. He opened a larger museum in West Yarmouth in 2016.  “We’re working on (opening) another museum in Salem,” Clifford said Thursday. He said the two Cape museums were too close to one another. At 3,100 square feet, the Whydah museum space is double the size of the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s Shark Center in Chatham, and Education Director Marianne Long said her organization is planning on opening a museum in the new space.
