Entrepreneur Pat Croce's Pirate Museum Moves To St. Augustine

Entrepreneur and former president of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team Pat Croce is passionate about pirates (it even says so on his website).

Croce, whose multifaceted career has included stints as an author, business owner and reality television show judge, opened the Pirate Soul Museum in Key West, Florida in 2005. The museum featured authentic pirate artifacts, many from Croce's personal collection. In February 2006, he opened the pirate-themed Rum Barrel restaurant next to the museum. Now the museum is being moved to St. Augustine, Florida. The new St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum showcases one of the largest authentic collections in the world, collected by founder Pat Croce and the Florida Division of Historical Resources.
