natgeomuseumDressing as a pirate for Halloween? 🏴☠️ There's a pretty good chance that your costume is historically inaccurate (according to a real-life National Geographic Explorer). Underwater archaeologist Lisa Briggs has excavated actual pirate shipwrecks like Blackbeard’s flagship, and she’s helping us bust history’s biggest swashbuckler myths to see what’s a trick and what’s a treat. Want to see if your costume passes Lisa's test? She will be speaking live about her work at our spooky-themed Nat Geo Nights on October 29. 🎃 #Pirate #History #Halloween #Costume #Myth
