Swarthy seas

The days of pirates, it turns out, may not be so distant. But from Pickering Wharf Marina in Salem, a replica of the schooner Fame, among the first American privateers during the War of 1812, sails several times a day to give families a time-worn tour of coastal adventure. Hope for steady wind as the three sails fill.

Pickering Wharf Marina, Salem, 978-729-7600, www.schoonerfame.com, Adults $25, $15 for children under 13.
