​Ahoy, matey! Today be talk like a pirate day! Did you know that Charleston has seen its fair share of pirate action?! Arguably one of the most famous pirates, Black Beard, once held the city’s harbor captive. He and his fleet blocked passage to and from the city taking over any ship that tried to pass. Taking hostages, he traded them for medical supplies for his men. This is just one of the many stories involving pirate action along the South Carolina coast.


Avast ye, set your inner pirate free today!


A day in the life…

Hey guys! Oreo and Tiny here. We know that we are your favorite part of the Yorktown, so we commandeered the ship and decided to let you know what it’s like to be a turtle for a day. Well first things first, when the humans get here they have to turn our lights on. This is important because we are cold blooded which means we need the light to warm our bodies up so we can really move around. Are favorite morning activity is climbing up on our rock and to sun bathe. Once we are nice and warm the fun begins. We love to swim around our tank looking for food. Occasionally we like to see who can hold their breath the longest. Our personal best is about 1 hour. We like to end our day with a snack, preferably shrimp or fiddler crabs. Well that’s about it, hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our day!
