The Pirates of the Dark Rose took over Whale Park June 27 during Windjammer Days. The crew set up camp and hosted several activities at their Pirate Tortuga bazaar including a puppet show retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island,” kids’ games, and a demonstration of how to fire a cannon. The crew also gave tours of the ship, the Must Roos, or “Dark Rose” in Slavic. In addition, the Shank Painters played sea shanties for the crowd.

The crew is scheduled to be at the park June 27 and 28. For their full schedule, visit the Windjammer Days website.
