This summer, Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, S.C. will celebrate the vernacular of the high seas with its first ever Ripley’s Talk Like A Pirate Contest on Saturday, June 7. Being a pirate was mostly a man’s lot during 1650-1730, the heyday of piracy. However, this summer Ripley’s will be welcoming buccaneer wannabees of all sizes and persuasions with the winners taking home a boatload of booty. Pirates will compete in three categories, kids 14 and under, men and women, with each offering a total of $600 in cash and prizes.
