Kids Pirate Cruise at the Calvert Marine Museum
Solomons, MD
Every so often, the Calvert Marine Museum turns a piece of Chesapeake history into a pirate ship! The Kids Pirate Cruise sails aboard the Wm. B. Tennison, a log-built bugeye — but it’s a special-event cruise offered only on select dates, not part of the museum’s regular sailing schedule. Check the museum’s special cruises page to see whether one is on the calendar.
