Bold, cunning, and audacious, pirates are a breed of fighting men and women
who have terrorized the high seas since before recorded history. At the height
of their power in the 1700's they literally influenced the fate of nations when
they became embroiled in the rivalry between England and Spain. This special will
visit maritime museums and shipwreck sites, utilize walk-and-talk demonstrations
of fire arms, swords, and navigation instruments to help spotlight the innovations
pirates brought to maritime technology. Includes a look at how many pirates
modified their ships to make them faster and more powerful.
