I’ve been listening to the Pirate History Podcast for about two years now, and it’s really an excellent podcast. Matt Albers does a really well-researched, well-recorded accounting of pirate history. There’s so many stories to tell, even about historical characters I’ve never even heard of. But there’s still much more to tell.

In one of his earliest podcasts, Matt told everyone that he had a map of the Caribbean commissioned by artist Drew Hall, to be used as a boon to supporters of the podcast.

But until recently, you had to make weekly pledges in support of the cast in order to get this map. But now, you can actually order the map all by itself at the Pirate History Podcast Store. I recently did this and could not be happier. It now graces the previously vacant space above my mantlepiece in the home pirate bar.

The map is wonderfully created by artist Drew Hall in a vintage style. All areas that were at one time pirate strongholds are marked with a skull and crossbones for reference. The map is topped off with an image of a kracken destroying a ship and the Pirate History Podcast logo.

This map is really terrific and would look great in any home bar setting, especially with a pirate theme. Better yet, all proceeds from sales of the map go to supporting the podcast.
