Casey Duckett is a Living History Educator who believes in getting his hands dirty. For over twenty years he has immersed himself in many aspects of late 17th/early 18th-century life, including but not limited to: hearth cooking, sword fighting, tall ship sailing, small and great gun exercise, period games, and wilderness survival. Along with these hands-on activities are countless hours of scouring libraries, public records offices, and historic sites in order to research pirates, privateers, and the societies that profited by their activities. Armed with a powerful mix of research and personal experience Capt.
