Pirates Haunt The Caribbean And Bahamas(NAPSA)-Pirate tales of yore can be relived when you vacation in the Bahamas or Caribbean, according to Pleasant Holidays, a premier supplier of travel packages to the islands. The Caribbean and Bahamas teem with year-round festivals that celebrate the exploits of 17th & 18th-century pirates like Blackbeard and Henry Morgan. Primarily English privateers hired by the British Crown to seize gold from Spanish galleons, the pirates had some fierce rituals: Blackbeard would light hemp fuses in his hair and beard, terrifying enemy sailors who surrendered upon seeing this apparition from hell. Morgan flew both a red flag, signifying death, and the familiar skull and crossbones before slicing and dicing the opposing crew. Visitors to Jamaica who love pirate history should visit Port Royal, Morgan's home port with much pirate memorabilia. Nassau has an interactive pirate museum with a rebuilt pirate ship with rolling cannons, volatile gambling sessions and on-board surgery performed by the ship's carpenter! Pleasant Holidays' affordable and pirate-free packages to the Caribbean and Bahamas can be booked by calling your travel agent or 800-448-3333; or logging on to www.PleasantHolidays.com.
