1953 Milton Bradley Geographical Game 'Pirate and Traveler'

An amusing 1953 geographical board game, Pirate and Traveler, by Milton Bradley. Game play involves drawing a travel card which dictates the journeys that are to be made by the travelers. The distance to be traveled in each move is determined by spinning a numbered wheel. Player moves his colored game piece, termed a 'traveler', the corresponding number of spaces on the game board until he reaches his destination. The routes of travel were based on well-known railroad and steamship lines, and major cities and ports throughout the world.

Most of the game appears to be intact. Contains board, 2 cone tokens, and 3 ship tokens, a spinner, and original game cards. Instructions are printed on the inside of the lid.

Milton Bradley copyrighted the game in 1910 and issued it in 1911. Revised editions were published in 1936, 1953, 1956, 1960 and 1970, each with different boards and other minor variations.
