Pirates
Below deck
Where every Pirates crew starts: locked in the hold of Calico Jack’s galleon, with lanterns swinging and the crew snoring somewhere above.
Ship & Shore
From the hold of the galleon to the shanty on the sand, as far as the Crew can go without giving anything away.
Pirates
The galleon hold
Barrels, ropes and the smell of old grog. Cookie Marlowe insists the barrels are full of soup.
Pirates
The cannon deck
The guns are silent tonight. The captain’s treasure is somewhere aboard, and dawn is coming.
Pirates
The captain’s quarters
Where Calico Jack writes his famously boastful log, and where he really should lock the door.
Pirate Island
The shanty window
Barred, sun-bleached and looking straight out at the reef, where the Jolly Roger is getting closer.
Pirate Island
The beach shanty
Scarface built it, plank by plank. Rum crates, rope and the captain’s things, all of it worth a closer look.
Pirate Island
The Jolly Roger
The captain’s flag, flying over his hideout as if he owns the island. He thinks he does.
Pirate Island
The treasure
Somewhere in the shanty, Calico Jack has hidden his gold. The Crew will say no more than that.
