What did they learn? Our first Pirate School graduates tell us…
Find out how to load a cannon and different types of shot. Learn to find your way around a ship and handle some pirate treasure! Find out about ships articles (and the punishments if you break the rules) learn to sing a shanty to work to, what weapons you might fight with and why, and what terrible wounds you might get and how they might be treated! Hear the amazing tales of the pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and learn of the daring and wicked exploits of other infamous pirates such as Blackbeard, Black Bart and Sam Bellamy.
So swagger up for Pirate school! Haaar!
