This seductively dressed pirate girl holding a skull greets you as you enter Jack’s Bar and Grill, a piracy-themed restaurant in the Golden Zone of Cabo San Lucas. Nearby is the Buccaneer Queen, a 98 foot replica of a pirate ship. These tourist attractions are based on historical facts. Starting in the late 16th century and extending through the early 18th century, countries issued swashbucklers a “letter of marque and reprisal.” This was a sanction to attack and rob Spanish ships that were laden with treasure. If you want to learn more about these adventures, then visit the Museo Cabo San Lucas.
