International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Bring the accent & let the high seas take over.

Ahoy With Intent

Vibes

How to Celebrate

  • Drop a clean pirate greeting into the day.
  • Read a real pirate-history source.
  • Watch a pirate film or stage a themed night.
  • Support a maritime museum.
  • Keep it funny without becoming annoying.
