Really fantastic and informative exhibit! We learned a lot about both slavery and piracy, and I was especially impressed with the focus on humanizing enslaved people and people who went into piracy. The staff was outstanding - very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We went in on a whim, thinking this would be a way to kill and hour, but we left excited and amazed and planning to come again!

We stumbled onto this and decided to give it a try. Didn’t expect to see real artifacts from Black Sam and to get a personal tour. This is a family business and the love and devotion to the work was evident. I’m so glad we found this!
