Pirates of the Florida Coasts: Living History Presentation & Book Signing

Please join the Palm Beach Museum of Natural History and the PBCAS in celebration of Florida Archaeology Month!

Featuring Best Selling Author Robert Jacob.

Florida has a long and rich history of pirates plundering its shores, cities, and shipping lanes 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. This course examines the truths, myths, and legends about Florida Pirates from Sir Francis Drake to José Gaspar.

This in-person presentation will include a display of replicas and actual artifacts, a one-hour lecture, and a book signing. Visit the author's website at https://www.robertjacobauthor.com/
