We visited this museum thinking it would be your typical touristy place, but we were absolutely surprised at the historical accuracy of the exhibits. The museum is based on the Whydah and they have actual artifacts, including real pirate coins that you can touch! The museum is wonderfully done and extremely interesting! I would highly recommend a visit here!

We had an incredible time with our excellent docent, Jason, exploring this museum. He was very knowledgeable, and entertaining, and the exhibits were fascinating. The depth of the history was impressive and they worked hard to make it all come to life. We spent two and one half hours there and had no idea so much time had elapsed. This museum is perfect for children and adults. The extent of the preservation of the Whydah artifacts, as well as their sheer number, was staggering. We highly recommend this Pirate Museum.

We had a great experience at the REAL PIRATES OF SALEM exhibit it's a wonderful change of pace from the norm The exhibits and dioramas were authentic and captivating as we learned about the history of the Whydah, Captain Bellamy and his crew. Everyone we met was personable and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. I had a nice chat with the mother and daughter at the main desk and I could sense they had a passion for what they were doing. Definitely worth a visit while in wonderful Salem!!
