PIRATES (Jul, 2008)

Ahoy, matey! Never you fear - I'm not about to rob or kill you! No, I really want to show you what we pirates were all about. We left many traces of our whereabouts and our doings, but few have ever cared to learn too much about us. Most of those interested in pirates really just want to find out what treasures we hid and dig them up! But, DIG's different - they are coming to Port Royal to see how we lived in this so-called "safe haven." And, they'll tell you straight what makes us pirates and others privateers - is there a difference? Well, enough said for now! We pirates are always people (we're not just men - there were some daring women among us as well) who believe few words, or even no words, are better than saying too much! So, for the real scoop, you'll have to open DIG - the real treasure is waiting within its covers.
