Think & Drink – The History of Female Pirates
October 3 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Please join the Wisconsin Maritime Museum on October 3rd at 6:30pm for our Think & Drink series presentation “The History of Female Pirates” with Professor Michelle Kuhl. The featured drink of the night will be Grog – a rum cocktail.
Whatever you call them: swashbuckler, buccaneer or corsair, the image of the roguish pirate, who leaves home for a life free from social norms captures the imagination. The most infamous pirates who occupy our minds are from the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of time where women were not allowed on boats out of fear that they were bad luck. This superstition did not stop women from becoming incredibly successful pirates. Dive into pirate history with Dr. Michelle Kuhl as she shares the stories of the women who have terrorized the seven seas.
Alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks will be available for purchase at the limited bar.
Doors and bar open at 6:00 pm. The talk and live stream portion begin at 6:30 pm. To access the live stream of this event, please register here: https://forms.gle/MP4bhSkjHJFG9DQ86
