Thanks to legend and lore, people see pirates as plank walking, swashbuckling outlaws who live lives of unabashed adventure. However, this fantasy is not quite reality. So to promote Real Pirates at Chicago?s Field Museum we gave people an authentic taste of pirate life. We recruited them to 'go on the account' and experience first-hand what it was like to be a real pirate. In the end, we exceed our goals and proved that, sometimes, reality can be even more intriguing than fantasy.
