One of the most impressive and important collections of piracy. The nautical warfare and seafaring antique accessories that are concentrated within the walls of this museum are jaw-dropping. Some of the displays are tactile. Equally impressive is the layout and mock-up of the inside of a sailing ship. Absolutely stunning. One could spend hours just pouring over the maps and ephemera alone. Nice little section on treasure including the Mel Fisher and Arthur C. Clarke haul. Nice gift shop.

Very interesting and well displayed exhibits on lives of famous pirates, day to day life on their ships, their part in history. You can also do a fun hidden search through out the museum for a “prize” at the end.
