In a Savannah tavern, a pirate in a tricorne hat regales patrons with tales of his adventures at sea, including how he boldly plundered riches from unsuspecting ships and survived a storm that nearly shipwrecked his crew.
All that storytelling works up a thirst, and he invites everyone to have a swig o’ grog and sing along to a 19th century sea shanty. Before long, the boisterous crowd is belting out “What Will We Do with a Drunken Sailor?” as the rum flows.
That’s the scene in the Tavern gallery at the new Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum devoted to the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730) and beyond. The attraction itself is a buried treasure on the lower level of the Prohibition Museum in City Market. The dimly lit space provides the illusion of sailing in the hold of a pirate ship.
Tales of pirates in Savannah are almost as old as the port city founded in 1733.
