Pirates, wannabe pirates and curious visitors gathered in Waterfront Park off Commercial Street for a lesson on cannons Wednesday morning, June 24 during the 64th annual Windjammer Days.
While pirates manned the demonstration booths and handed out tattoos, balloon sabers and more, one of the pirates explained the use of tools for cleaning, loading and firing a cannon (the cannon was not actually fired). He called on young volunteers to help demonstrate the activity.
After Tuesday’s rain, the activity in the park and surrounding sidewalks was brisk in the bright sunshine.
The pirates’ Battle for Boothbay Harbor was scheduled to take place at noon.
