Climb aboard as we learn about life on a privateer ship, including what as a sailor you might have eaten, what their job might have been, and how they would have passed the time.  Meet some of the Revolution's most famous sailors, like Philadelphian James Forten. Learn how to fire a cannon while fighting off the british, and get ready to help create your own "tall tale" from the high seas!
