The Pirate's House
Around 1753 Savannah had become a thriving seaport town, one of the first buildings constructed on the eastern side was an Inn for visiting seamen. Situated a scant block from the Savannah River, the Inn became a rendezvous of blood-thirsty pirates and sailors from the Seven Seas. Here seamen drank their fiery grog and discoursed, sailor fashion, on their adventures from Singapore to Shanghai and from San Francisco to Port Said.
Hanging on the walls in the Captain's Room and The Treasure Room are frames containing pages from an early, very rare edition of the book Treasure Island. Savannah is mentioned numerous times in this classic by Robert Louis Stevenson. In fact, some of the action is supposed to have taken place in The Pirates' House!
The validity of The Pirates' House has been recognized by The American Museum Society which lists this historic tavern as a house museum. Today, it is a mecca for Savannahians and tourist alike who come to enjoy its many delicious Southern specialties served in the original setting of yesteryear.
