TF: Peabody Essex

Here is Pooh outside the Peabody Essex Museum. This is a great museum, it has a little bit of everything. It has paintings, furniture, silver pieces (goblets, tea sets, silverware), scrimshaw, and it is rich in maritime history.

















The Salem Wax Museum is just down the road from the Pirate Museum.


































Next it was a walk up the street to the New England Pirate Museum. A small but interesting museum, it shows how big piracy was off the coast of the United States. I thought Pooh would make a great substitute for a pirate's parrot.
