Pirates Ashore in Plymouth

Pirates Ashore in Plymouth The “pirates” were English privateers, just back from capturing a number of Spanish ships in the Caribbean, and flush with cargo and cash.

In 1646, three mysterious shiploads of English privateers sailed into Plymouth harbor flush with Spanish gold and rich cargoes they had seized in the Caribbean… Join us as we relive the tumult! This will be an exciting costumed reenactement of the visit of three pirate ships to Plymouth in May of 1646 as described in William Bradford's "Of Plymouth Plantation". The ships were welcomed to Plymouth

and stayed about a month, spending money freely, drinking, and fighting. One such fight resulted in the death of a sailor and the trial of the ship’s Captain for murder! Joining the New Plimmoth Gard in this reenactment will be the maritime reenactor groups, The Crew of the Raven, and The Free Men of the Sea.
