In the heyday of piracy (approximately 1600-1718), the Carolina coast was ravaged by ferocious buccaneers such as Blackbeard, Anne Bonney and Stede Bonnet. This fascinating blockbuster exhibit brings the world of pirates alive with many artifacts and reproductions such as pirate weapons and “pieces of eight,” cannon balls, pewter plates, a ship’s bell and more. Hands-on elements heighten the pirate experience for guests as they handle reproduction clothing, swords, muskets and pistols; learn to tie a variety of sailor’s knots; walk off paces from a treasure map; and learn to speak like a pirate.
