Or Why You Should Raise Your Kids As Pirates (And 101 Tips on How To Do it)

Pirate ParentingSo what do pirates and lighthouses have in common? A lot actually. It’s rumored that some lighthouses, before the government took them over in 1789, were actually the result of land based pirates, using the entrapment method of lighting fires on shore, to fool ships into landing for the purpose of slaying the crew and looting the bounty.

And even Scotland’s lighthouses have pirate legends.
