Welcome aboard the Surprise, the replica British frigate featured in the film "Master and Commander". Now, leave it behind and enter in your imagination the pirate vessel Somerset, a full-rigged ship named for the birthplace of famed pirate and scientist William Dampier. As you travel about, pay close attention to the many exploits of this most remarkable fellow, whose accomplishments include three voyages around the world, numerous discoveries, three books, and associations with some of history's most interesting and infamous scoundrels. |
