Stories of pirates and buried treasure have long since fascinated and captured our imaginations. But beneath the legends and myths of piracy there are real accounts of lost maps and hidden wealth. In the seventeenth century, during the golden age of the pirate, a family of mapmakers was entrusted with all the secrets of the greatest pirates. The McGee's were commissioned by buccaneers to draw maps to their buried treasure. But the mapmakers had a secret of their own - carefully hidden in their maps were clues leading others to the pirates loot! These maps have been lost for hundreds of years - until now. The Owen brothers have recreated thirteen of the original McGee maps in this fantastic collection of treasures from the real pirates of the caribbean.
