Central Gulf Coast on Alert for Pirates
That's right, the central gulf coast of Florida is on alert for pirates throughout the summer.
Virtually irresistible to both adults and young people, this fascinating exhibit unfolds tales of real-life pirates to examine the social and economic forces that compelled their career choices and the pivotal role they played in the early history of the American colonies.
See historical artifacts from the 16th and 17th century, shipwreck artifacts, documents and maps giving a chilling account of pirates who sailed the Gulf Stream.
The exhibit inlcudes pirate paintings by artist Don Maitz including the famed Forty Thieves, historical memorabilia, and items of popular culture!
