The Pirates of the Colonial America exhibit will make appearances at three 2010 boat shows held by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). Created by historical researchers John Moga and Jon Paul Harpen, the interactive exhibit provides a visual history of pirates in early Colonial America. The family-friendly display will be featured at the Kansas City Boat & Sportshow from Jan. 7–10; the Chicago Boat, RV & Outdoors Show from Jan. 13–17; and the Minneapolis Boat Show from Jan. 20–24.
