Pirates of Nassau
|
 |
|
This museum celebrates the dubious "golden age of piracy" (from 1690-1720). Nassau was once a bustling and robust town where pirates grew rich from plundered gold and other goods robbed at sea. Known as a paradise for pirates, it attracted various rogues and the wild women who flooded into the port to entertain them -- for a price, of course. This newly opened museum re-creates those bawdy, lusty days in a series of exhibits illustrating pirate lore. You can walk through the belly of a pirate ship (the Revenge) as you hear "pirates" plan their next attack. You can smell the dampness of a dungeon, and you'll even hear the final prayer of an ill-fated victim before he walks the gangplank. It's fairly cheesy, but fun for kids. Exhibits also tell the saga of Captain Woodes Rogers, who was sent by the English crown to suppress pirates in The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Open: Mon-Sat 9am-5pm.Admission $12 adults, $6 children 3-18, free for children 2 and under.Bus: 10 or 17.
