Pirate Costumes for Children and Adults - Wonder Costumes

The pirate, a figure out of history, legend, and lore, has reemerged of late, not just in fiction as in this summer's popular movie, Pirates of the Caribbean but also as a pressing concern in contemporary world affairs.
Atleast one Atlantic contributor found the act of researching the life of a pirate nearly as exciting as the pirate life itself. In "Pirates in Parchment" (August 1927), Leslie Hotson set off to find "a sea thief par excellence" in the archives of the Record Office of London. " My thoughts are now salty and romantic," he wrote, as he began the process of digging through the dusty old files. Though his search turned up quite a few pirates, he did not at first find the kind of specimen he was looking for. "My pirate must be not only a great one," he wrote, "but also one who has been more or less lost in undeserved neglect, and therefore somewhat fallen from his bad eminence." Eventually, however, he stumbled upon Captain Jack Ward, a pirate who fit the description perfectly.
The predecessor to Buccaneer Days started in 1917 with a splash day type of festival on what old timers called North Beach and the Chamber of Commerce calls Corpus Christi Beach.
Pirates prey upon Spanish Galleons, adventurers search for buried treasure, and the dead walk the streets of Port-au-Prince--this is the world of Skull & Bones.
