As you spot, explore cutaways of ships and learn about navigation, survival at sea, the merchant trade and finding treasure.

"Here’s one of the better books to feed your pirate-besotted child’s borderline worrisome single-mindedness...it’s worth a pirate’s plunder." * New York Times Book Review *
Book of the Week 'This book is fantastic... So far this is easily one of the most impressive [non-fiction titles about real life pirates] we've seen. Utterly wonderful stuff' * Read it Daddy *
'superb' * Let Them Be Small *
'The concept of broadening the seek-and-you-shall-find book to non-fiction proves itself a winner with this intelligent, varied volume' * The Bookbag *
