Pirateology Guidebook and Model Set

This set includes an illustrated book about pirates and a model of a pirate ship for you to build. The book is written as if it is a letter sent to Samuel Shute, Gov. of Mass., July 1, 1724, by Capt. Wm. Lubber of ¿The Sea Cat.¿ He writes: ¿In my mission to rid the high seas of pirates, I have obtained the assistance of a certain Capt. Carlton, as wicked a pirate as ever sailed these waters, whom I recently captured. He has provided me with a description of how pirates manage their ships. By understanding more about the lives of these scurvy creatures, we may be better placed to outwit them. I am also sending you a model of his pirate vessel, the `Swiftbuck¿, which my ship¿s carpenters have created from card, so that you will be able to identify her when she comes into port.¿
