The more and more I've been looking around Massachusetts, the more I see pirate themes. First the pirate flag in Rockport. Friday I discovered New England Pirate Museum I began to suspect that New England had a hidden pirate history. Apparently it is such a hidden period of history that most locals do not know about it. But then again, locals and non locals alike, New England is more famous for the revolutionary war, not piracy. As for Salem, it's more known for the witch trials and Halloween than pirates.
Quite a few pirates are on this list of activity along the New England coast. Blackbeard tops the list as one of the most famous per the museum's website.
