The Collections
Three Collections are open
How a privateer became a pirate, how the pirates became a war, and how the war ended the age.
- Captain KiddA royal commission, a disputed voyage, and a trial missing its best evidence. Nine rooms, ending at Execution Dock.
- Bartholomew Roberts and the Pirate WarHow the most successful crew of the age governed itself, and what it took to destroy it. Eight rooms, ending at the largest mass execution of the Golden Age.
- The End of the Golden AgeThe pardon, the governor, the law and the gallows: the machinery that closed the age, and the Victorian who named it. Nine rooms.
Each Collection is a walk through numbered rooms, built on the documents themselves. Start anywhere; the story reads best in order.
