Climb aboard as we learn about life on a privateer ship, including what a sailor might have eaten, what his job might have been, and how he would have passed the time. Meet some of the Revolution’s most famous sailors, like Philadelphian James Forten. Learn how to fire a cannon while fighting off the British and prepare to help us create our “tall tale” from the high seas!
