Episode 34: Boston in the Golden Age of Piracy, part 1 (Jun 26, 2017)

Shiver me timbers! This is the first in a two-part series about Boston’s role in the Golden Age of Piracy, from 1650 to 1726. A few pirates set sail from our city, some preyed on the shipping coming in and out of our port, and even more met their ends on the gallows in Boston. We’ll hear stories of daring raids and buried treasures, of mutiny, jailbreak, and double crossing. Show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/034
