You’ll board a creaking sloop with Captain Marlowe, your rum-stained, sharp-witted guide, as he sails you through the true Golden Age of Piracy — from the Caribbean to Madagascar, across storms, raids, and the daily grind of salt pork, hammocks, and hardtack. Along the way, you’ll uncover the real lives of pirates — their shipboard democracy, their raids and chases, the myths of parrots and buried treasure, and meet legends like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Black Bart. You’ll gain a richer understanding of why piracy flourished — poverty, collapsing empires, and the intoxicating promise of freedom — and see how much more fascinating truth is than the Halloween costume version.
