National Geographic Live: A Pirate's Life with Archaeologist Lisa Briggs

Hunt for some of history’s greatest treasures and the pirates who ruled the ocean with archaeologist Lisa Briggs.

Pirates might be reduced to a Halloween costume for some people, but they are a year-round fascination for archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer Briggs. We go on assignment with her to the Mediterranean Sea to explore how pirating shaped the Roman Empire. We also meet the Pirate Queen of China and then head into the lab with Briggs to follow the most famous renegade, Blackbeard.

Tickets are available now with a subscription.
