Spùinneadairean/Pirates
Explore what it was like to be a pirate on the high seas with Calum Macdonald, Kerry Anne Macleod and the History Hunters. Pirates plundered treasure, had strict pirate code rules and were known to fly a flag called the Jolly Roger to frighten other ships. Today, the History Hunters find out how to read maps, measure the depth of water by making a sounding weight and bake pirate rations - salty supplies called hard tack.
For their pirate-themed sleepover, the Hunters need hammocks for their friends to sleep in. They use rope and old sheets and experiment with the best knot and tying method to make sure the crew get a good night's sleep. In the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne learn why some sailors turned pirate, and get the opportunity to study the pirate code.
