Tone of article comes across as a work of of fiction rather than informative

There are too few facts and a whole lot of speculation. It should be toned down to simple statements of events plus corroborating accounts when appropriate. It's quite hard to follow in its current form. Phips is getting more attention from the recent references to the treasure hunt at Oak Island, Nova Scotia, so it seems timely to make some judicious edits.
