What I loved about this, is that it is so different from everything else in the World! Everything in Salem is about the witch trials, and Halloween. (Not a bad thing, I actually love it!)
BUT, this is a REAL museum showing REAL Pirate's Treasure....the only one ever to be authenticated and historically documented. Real Pirates, Real pieces from the recovery of the Ship, real treasure, that you even get to touch!!
A real love story too!
This is NOT touristy, like everything else. It is totally worth paying for, and will get you a solid hour+. I didn't pay for the directors tour, but did speak with the director at the end of the trip. So Cool!
