Is a pirate’s life for you? Here’s how to live the life of a Caribbean pirate!

Think you know everything there is to know about pirates, do you? Well me bucko, you’ve got a lot to learn, and here’s where you can drink your fill!

I’m "Scurvy Dog" George Beahm and, along with “Long John” Tim Kirk (a former Disney artist), we’re here to take you on a pirate cruise to the Caribbean, where you can shoot, scoot, and loot to your plundering heart’s content. We’ll show you how to find your sea legs and get you ship-shape so you can sail the high seas and pillage the New World with the most ferocious cutthroats that ever hoisted the Jolly Roger! Well, “arrr” you ready?

With artwork commissioned especially for this book from artist Tim Kirk, and illustrated with 145 full-color photos, this book tells you everything you’d want to know about Caribbean pirates! How to talk, dress, and live like a pirate on cruises and at pirate festivals. Where to find the best pirate museums in the world. A quiz to test your pirate knowledge. And, best of all, a no-holds-barred look at pirate history through the lens of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean. Were pirates really hung? Who was Davy Jones? Were there cannibals in the Caribbean? Find out in this fun and fact-filled book!

George Beahm has published numerous books, among them The Essential J. R. R. Tolkien Sourcebook, The Stephen King Companion, The Unauthorized Anne Rice Companion, The Unofficial Patricia Cornwell Companion, Stephen King from A to Z: An Encyclopedia of His Life and Work, and War of Words: The Censorship Debate. Actively involved in the book industry since 1975, Beahm has also been a self-publisher, regional publisher, book marketing director, book publishing consultant, and book packager. A lifelong fan of fantasy and science fiction, Beahm’s first two books focused on fantasy artists Vaughn Bode, Tim Kirk, and Richard Corben.
