National Museum of the Royal Navy Hartlepool, Horrible Histories® Pirates: The Exhibition
As fans of the books, stage-shows and TV series will expect, 'Horrible Histories® Pirates' takes a funny and foul look into pirate history, complete with parrots, cutlasses and all the gore and more.
Throughout the hands-on exhibition there will be opportunities to design pirate flags, visit a raucous pirates' tavern, take out enemies with cannon fire and command a pirate ship on the high seas. Young scallywags can also learn the rules of the 'pirates' code', delve into the often-gruesome history of pirate ships and their infamous commanders (both male and female) and they'll have to practice talking like a pirate too or risk a trip to Davey Jones' Locker.
A ticket to the National Musuem of the Royal Navy Hartlepool gives year-round access to HMS Trincomalee, the recreated Georgian Quay that surrounds it, and all of the exciting exhibitions. These include Horrible Histories® Pirates: The Exhibition, and Diving Deep: HMS Invincible 1744, telling the true story of this groundbreaking underwater archaeology project.
