The category is open to site significant to famous pirates like Blackbeard, Barbarossa, Captain Kidd, Black Bart, Anne Bonney, Mary Read, Black Sam Bellamy. Sea ports historically associated with pirate history (Port Royal, Cartagena) would be accepted. I see no reason to exclude historic river pirates as they are another part of the long history of piracy around the world along with Elizabethan, Barbary, Caribbean, Spanish Main, Asian, etc. Other areas of interest would include permanent museum exhibits and public displays. Shipwrecks, battles, hideouts, treasure sites, graves, and any other sites of historical interest to the study of the Brethren of the Coast.
Captain Jack Sparrow and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean attraction need not apply.
