This ultimate survival guide transports you back in time to the golden age of pirates, when fearsome captains like Barbarossa and Blackbeard made the rules.

Find out if you have what it takes to sail through this ruthless world of cutthroats and renegades—if you dare!

Think fast! You’ve been transported back in time to the golden age of piracy, a time when fearsome captains like Barbarossa and Blackbeard make the rules.

If not, you might just find yourself in the midst of a murderous mutiny or marooned on a deserted island!

In this handy guide, you’ll learn how to prepare for such pitfalls—or avoid them entirely! You’ll find a rogue’s gallery to help you recognize the most fearsome pirates (so you can stay out of their way or outsmart them!); maps of key pirate locales, including hideaways; tips on how to talk like a pirate; what to do if you fall overboard; and much more. This book is the ultimate resource for daring adventurers who want to know what life was really like during the golden age of piracy!
