At Pirate School join the trainee pirate crew in fun packed sessions with Rattlebox Theatre, meet two pirate characters, find out facts and fictions behind real pirates, learn to find your way around a ship and handle some pirate treasure - Shiver me timbers!


In the Treasure Island Play Zone if ye be brave enough, follow the map ...... through the smugglers cave ... along the island beach .... to Treasure Island fort. Watch out for real 'pirates' on the way!

On the Pirate Parrot Treasure Trail 7 Pirate Parrots have jumped ship and are hidden in the Museum. Can you find them?

You can also make your own pirate cutlass, parrot, and treasure chest at the Make and Takes table.

If you've not yet seen the acclaimed Titanic Stories exhibition don't miss the chance to explore the stories of the Titanic's momentous sinking, and re-appraise many of the myths and controversies.

There is an exact, life-size replica of Lifeboat 13 on display and, above it looms a stunning representation of the iceberg. Created by Falmouth-based artist Dan Arnold, from 2,208 monkey fist knots, each one represents a Titanic passenger and ultra-violet light gives it an ephemeral, phosphorescent glow.
