Maritime Pirate Museum Events
December 1st - December 31st is Viking Month
December is Viking Month at the Antilles Trading Company Pirate Museum. The Vikings were a seafaring people active between the 8th and 11th centuries, known for their exploration, trade, and conquest. Skilled shipbuilders and navigators, they traveled vast distances, reaching as far as North America, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
Come learn about six important Vikings and view dozens of amazing real excavated Viking Artifacts, including a Viking sword from when Vikings turned from Pagan to Christianity, helmets, tools, and personal items belonging to real Vikings. We are also featuring an 18th C reliquary containing a fragment of the stole of Saint Nicholas (c. 270–343 AD), Bishop of Myra—the historic saint that later inspired Santa Claus. Originating from the Vatican, the reverse is sealed with red silk threads and a bishop’s wax seal.
