Pirates Life Tote Bag

Pirates Life Pirates are one of our favorite party themes of all time, and not just for Halloween, birthdays and get togethers. When most people think of pirate costumes and swashbucklers on the seven seas, though, they’re typically thinking about the period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Lasting roughly from the middle 1600s to the middle 1700s, the Golden Age saw a huge influx in pirate activity in the Caribbean region, in Northern Europe, and along the African West Coast. This is also the time period in which the majority of popular pirate stories are set, from classic novels such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island to modern movies like the Pirates of the Caribbean series and video games like Assassin’s Creed IV.
