There be pirates on Mud Island! Learn the early history of the Fort, and why the British chose to build a fortification on Mud Island. Merriment and mischief, hands on activities, scavenger hunt, tours and weapons demonstrations PLUS will there be a pirate attack?!? Who will defend the Fort? (skirmish details announced the week of the event.) Enjoy singing along with the Sea Dogs during their concert at 1 PM. Come as you are, or come as a pirate! Swashbuckling fun for one and all.
Fancy a peek at the Fort as the pirates might have seen it? Take a cruise on the Schooner Northwind! Tickets available for 1-hour sails from the dock adjacent to the Fort. Cruise passengers must have a Pirate Day ticket, and will meet at the Gift Shop about 20 minutes prior to the scheduled sail.
