PIRATES

Most pirates were men, but not all! At least two were women … disguised as men! Shiver me timbers! Find out more about these swashbuckling shipmates.

Long ago, sailors told tales of lovely sea creatures called mermaids. When early European explorers first saw manatees, they thought they were mermaids. Christopher Columbus wrote in his log book that they were not as beautiful as he had thought they would be.

Find at least five differences between what Pirate Pete thinks he sees and what is really there.

SUNKEN TREASURE

Diver Robert Marx was able to uncover parts of Port Royal, a seaport in the Caribbean that was hit by an earthquake in 1692. He was not looking for treasure, but find it, he did!

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2013

Parrots

Pirates and parrots go together. They make great pets. Perhaps they were first captured for food but when they started to “talk,” they became pets instead of dinner.

A true story! One day a little parrot was sitting outside in the sun when some children came by and tried to get him to speak. But he would not utter a sound. After a while the children got tired and started to walk away. At that point the parrot called out, “Don’t go!” Apparently, as long as the children were entertaining him, the parrot saw no reason to entertain them.
