Eric and Sabrina Lavender, accompanied by their trusty companion parrots, lead you through the French Quarter and along the waterfront, exploring the oldest sections of the city, the Golden Age of Piracy and Charleston pirates. A master storyteller, Eric doesn't just quote the facts and dates. Sabrina carries on the fine tradition of female pirates with a sense of humor almost as sharp as her sword. You'll feel like you're right in the middle of the action, as they share the stories of Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, Charles Vane, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read, along with the fascinating, true facts of pirate life. We'll explore how and why Charleston went from pirate haven to pirate target and how piracy impacted Charleston and its economy. You'll be surprised at how many of today's common sayings have piratical roots. We can't say more, or we'd "let the cat out of the bag!" This 2-hour walking tour will make you want to "go on account" and join the sweet trade.
