Swords of the Caribbean

Join Swordsmanship Museum and Academy historian Jerry Berg as he takes us back to a time of swords and scallywags, swashbucklers and scoundrels, back to the Golden Age of Piracy! These years of pirate history can be just as complicated as the men who took up the cutlass and terrorized the sea, and so Jerry will use the ever-changing use of the sword as a lens to better understand this era with clarity. From the wild hunting cutlass to the aristocrat's smallsword, and everything in between, Jerry will not only show off some original swords from the collection of the Swordsmanship Museum and Academy, but will also explain how they were used; demonstrating specific swordsmanship techniques from the Age of Pirates!
