It’s a thorough and informative piece, and is complimented by several pictures of maps, artifacts, and in-progress salvage shots. The features this issue begin with a six page informational piece about the ongoing salvage of Blackbeard’s own Queen Anne’s Revenge. The innards of Pirates Magazine is full color through and through, and broken up into feature articles and departments. It’s a fine cover for catching the attention of new and old pirate fans alike. Clearly the publisher sought to maximize this fortunate timing, as the cover features none other than Captain Jack himself, smugly basking in the warm yellow glow of Tia Dalma’s hut. Pirates Magazine has remained consistent in its quality, and the following review remains an accurate snapshot of what you can expect from this publication.Īfter some months of anticipation from the greater pirate community, Pirates Magazine began hitting bookshelves just in time to ride the waves created by the recent Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest movie. I have not done the same for Pirates Magazine, because I feel it unnecessary. I initially reviewed both, and more recently have re-reviewed the other magazine, looking at it in the entireity of its first year so as to better represent a new and growing publicaton. Note: Near the same time as Pirates Magazine was released, a second pirate magazine also premiered.
