Event details: Knights of the Black Flag
Description
Pirates have wreaked havoc on the high seas since waterway travel began. These seafaring scoundrels command attention in Knights of the Black Flag. This major exhibit explores the legacy of pirates, from ancient times to the present, through intriguing artifacts, legends and history that bring their ruthless adventures to life. The interactive exhibit is an exciting experience for all ages.
Showcasing many objects related to pirates, Knights of the Black Flag includes the largest collection of artifacts ever exhibited from the shipwreck believed to be Blackbeards flagship, Queen Annes Revenge. Legends surround another compelling artifact on loan from the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass.: the alleged skull of Blackbeard.
