    Treasure Island is going for a new twist on the Pirate Theme and they are called “TI” and instead of a Pirate show - it is a “Siren” show … But today they should be Siren Pirates.

    Here’s a link to a pirate-themed mini-golf course in a Detroit suburb. The large object to the upper left (next to the batting cages) is a full-size pirate ship with several golf holes on the deck.
