Built around a full-scale reconstructed pirate ship — the Revenge, the ship of Calico Jack — that you can walk through and below the decks of. Exhibits cover the brief but spectacular era when Nassau was the unofficial capital of the Caribbean pirate world, with dioramas, weapons, and life-size models that work better than they have any right to.
The museum is run by enthusiasts and shows it. It is on the corner of King and George Streets, two blocks south of the cruise-ship dock — close enough that the place fills up when ships are in. Hour and a half is plenty. The combined ticket with the Bahamas Historical Society museum is a small but worthwhile saving.
