Is the pirate's life for you? The Tampa Bay History Museum opens a new gallery Sunday called "Treasure Seekers: Conquistadors, Pirates & Shipwrecks." The permanent exhibition at the museum in Tampa, Florida, includes a 60-foot replica ship with pirate holograms; an immersive theater that shows what it was like to be at sea; and recovered sunken treasures. Also featured: stories of real pirates like "Calico" Jack Rackham and female pirate Anne Bonny. Pirate history is popular in the Tampa Bay area, with the massive Gasparilla festival each January and the Buccaneers NFL team named for a type of Caribbean pirate.
