Pirate Days on the Embarcadero!
May 18 & 19, 2013 at Maritime Museum of San Diego
Aye, if you hear the word PIRATE, it often strikes terror in the
heart of any seaman, yet at the Maritime Museum of San Diego the word
tingles with fun and excitement, if not suggesting a bit of a devilish
encounter.
There is a saying: “Where there is a sea, there are Pirates,” so the
Museum holds to the time-worn tradition of swashbuckling Pirates,
brandishing their swords, to engage, delight, guide and educate our
visitors.

A
two day celebration for kids of all ages, will include kids costume
contests, carnival games, cannon firings, weapon demonstrations, sword
fights, scary stories, and scavenger hunt for the pirate treasure which the mermaid holds at the end of the treasure hunt.
Climb aboard me hearties and join in the fun!
