Pirates of the Florida Coast

Florida has a long and rich history of pirates plundering its shores, cities, and shipping lanes. Tales of Florida pirates abound from Key West to Pensacola and from Miami to Jacksonville. But how much of it is true? Exaggerations of true pirate histories have been told and retold for centuries, giving rise to imaginary pirate heroes, and spawning sensational legends and myths. Join author Robert Jacob as he examines the truths, myths, and legends about Florida Pirates from Sir Francis Drake to José Gaspar.
