Speaker: Brendan Burke, LAMP
When: THIS WEDNESDAY, December 9th, 7:00 to 9:00 pm
Where: Flagler Auditorium (west of the Lightner Museum), St. Augustine
As part of the Discover First America: Legacies of La Florida event series LAMP’s Brendan Burke will be joining Pat Croce in presenting “Pirates! Fact and Fiction”. These two presentations will focus on our view of the past as filtered through the various lenses of make-believe, historical romanticizing, and historical documentation. Mr. Croce will talk about the Golden Age of Piracy, exemplified by the Pirate Soul Museum he founded in Key West. Brendan’s presentation will dissect a 1764 shipwreck, a 1668 raid, and a 1589 map to uncover St. Augustine’s history of conflict with Pirates.
The lecture series is free to the public.
