Product Description
Pirateology is the Sea Journal of Captain William Lubber, the famous Pirate-hunter general from Boston. The book was allegedly found in an old sea chest by divers searching for wrecks off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in 2006. In Pirateology, Lubber charts his attempt from 1793 to 1796 to hunt down and capture the infamous pirate Arabella Drummond.
This unforgettable journal of his search across the most dangerous waters of the world is packed with maps, charts, wonderful illustrations of pirate ships and sloops. It details some of the world’s most famous pirates including Blackbeard and Edward Teach and shows the areas they terrorised in search of gold and jewels.
Very much in the style of Templar’s groundbreaking ‘Dragonology’, ‘Piratology’ is the 1720 work of Captain William Lubber, Pirate Hunter General to the Admiralty, and contains a similar variety of recreations and novelties, such as a real compass set into the cover, a hidden treasure map, a working sun-dial, a page of foiled, embossed doubloons and pieces of eight and much more.
Lubber is also hot on the trail of wicked pirate Arabella Drummond, her cut-throat crew of sea dogs and her ship’s cat, the redoubtable Mr. Teach.
‘Pirateology’ follows the enormously successful ‘Dragonology’, ‘Egyptology’ and Wizardology’, which have each sold over one million copies worldwide.
