CBS has revealed the identities of the 16  pirates that will be competing on Pirate Master,  the newest show from Survivor producer Mark Burnett premiering on May 31.

Pirate Master will follow the 16 contestants over the course of 33 days as they travel around the Caribbean in search for hidden treasure in a 179-foot pirate ship. Each week, one pirate will become the captain of the ship, and each week one pirate will be “cut adrift.”

Here’s a look at the 16 contestants who Burnett says, “knew a lot about the world of pirates and all agree had they been born 250 years ago, they’d have like to have been pirates.”
