caves of Norman Island. (You will probably snorkel in them).

By the early 1700s, competition for stolen treasure in the Caribbean was strong. A treaty in 1713 allowed the English Navy to start protecting merchant ships. As the colonies in the Virgin Islands began to get stronger, law and order made the pirates less welcome. Many of them set sail for the Orient, the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. The last pirate attack in Tortola was in 1869.

If you were a pirate, what would your name be?

What would be good pirate names for the other mateys on your ship?

What would be the best treasure you could have?
