Pirates of Cold Spring Harbor

Buccaneers invade the Whaling Museum in Cold Spring Harbor for its new special exhibit:
“Pirates!”

Explore the mystery, folklore and reality of pirates through the legends, artifacts and art which have earned these shady characters a permanent place in popular culture

“New York has a long and colorful history with sea-going thieves: in 1699, Governor Richard Coote called Long Island a "great receptacle for pirates." Two of his predecessors were known to consort with pirates.

“As we hope to show with this exhibit, pirates on film and pirates in reality were sometimes two different things,” said Museum Curator Dan Trachtenberg.

The exhibit will run through August, 2008. The Whaling Museum, located on Route 25A in Cold Spring Harbor, is open Tuesday through Sunday form 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
