Caribbean Pirates
A Treasure Chest of Fact, Fiction, and Folklore
by George Beahm
Art by Tim Kirk

I found this 233 page tell-all book on pirates utterly delightful. I have always had a fascination for these flashy evil doers ever since I heard about the fabled Captain Hook. The author and artist have teamed up to give us a real treat. The colorful pictures and language throughout gave me a sense of what it might of been like back in those days of yesteryear.

The format was also very creative, there were lots of true and false questions and then when I got to the answers I was surprised at some of them, and then laughed like heck at others. This journal displayed page after page of eye-popping photos and salacious tidbits. I would recommend it to anyone who has been swept up in the debauchery, thievery, and splendor associated with the hooligans of the Seven Seas. Thanks guys, for an intimate glimpse into another world.

Love & Light,

Riki Frahmann (

Book description

Is a pirate’s life for you? Here’s how to live the life of a Caribbean pirate!

Think you know everything there is to know about pirates, do you? Well me bucko, you’ve got a lot to learn, and here’s where you can drink your fill!

I’m “Scurvy Dog” George Beahm and, along with “Long John” Tim Kirk (a former Disney artist), we’re here to take you on a pirate cruise to the Caribbean, where you can shoot, scoot, and loot to your plundering heart’s content. We’ll show you how to find your sea legs and get you ship-shape so you can sail the high seas and pillage the New World with the most ferocious cutthroats that ever hoisted the Jolly Roger! Well, “arrr” you ready?

With artwork commissioned especially for this book from artist Tim Kirk, and illustrated with 145 full-color photos, this book tells you everything you’d want to know about Caribbean pirates! How to talk, dress, and live like a pirate on cruises and at pirate festivals. Where to find the best pirate museums in the world. A quiz to test your pirate knowledge. And, best of all, a no-holds-barred look at pirate history through the lens of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean. Were pirates really hung? Who was Davy Jones? Were there cannibals in the Caribbean? Find out in this fun and fact-filled book!
