Pirates! Fact and Fiction with Katherine Howe

Ahoy, book lovers! Salem Lit Fest and Real Pirates Salem have joined forces for an event that only a scurvy dog would miss!

The gangway opens at 6pm for a tour of Real Pirates Salem, which includes the world’s only fully authenticated pirate treasure, discovered from a ship wrecked more than 300 years ago of off Cape Cod. Once ye get yer sea legs, we’ll gather ‘round in the museum’s Treasure Room for tales of tars and treachery with Katherine Howe!
