Blackbeard, Jose Gaspar, Jean Lafitte—the names conjure up a romantic, swashbuckling figure with a black patch over one eye, a cutlass in his teeth, and a brace of pistols tucked into his waistband. Actors such as Errol Flynn did much to create that devil-may-care attitude glamorized on the silver screen, but in fact, real pirates were not so admirable; for the most part they were cruel, greedy, dastardly brigands, many of whom were slave traders or smugglers in addition to being pirates. Still, we continue to be fascinated by their lives and exploits, perhaps because they led such adventurous lives full of bravery, recklessness and daring. It is certainly more enjoyable— and safer—to read about pirates than to encounter one. This book chronicles the lives and times of 20 notable Florida pirates, from the English privateers of the 1500s to present-day drug smugglers and “yachtjackers." Pirates have always found easy prey in the seas around Florida; not only did the treasure-laden ships on their way back to Europe have to sail close to Florida's shores to catch the currents east, but the treacherous Florida Reef foundered many a ship, making easy pickings. Most of what we know about pirates comes from Navy records, newspaper accounts, or eyewitness statements from those whom the pirates spared. This book distills the most interesting facts from many sources into a book that will be enjoyed by anyone interested in a different perspective on Florida's history.

The coast of southwest Florida, with its shallow waters, inlets, and mangrove islands provides the setting and backdrop for a variety of pirates, privateers, and independents.

Piracy has a long and rich tradition in this area dating from before the formation of America through the infamous prohibition era. Educators, authors, and pirate enthusiasts James and Sarah Kaserman recount the stories, legends and myths that surround piracy in Florida. Telling the tales of Anne Bonny, Calico Jack Rackham, Civil War smugglers and prohibition rum runners, the authors provide a compelling narrative of the historically dangerous waters around Southwest Florida and beyond.

“Nikki Beare came with her family to live on the Keys. Her interest in the Keys and its history made her become a real part of the Conchs, but more in the nature of “grafted on stock”. From the very beginning, she endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. She enjoyed hearing the Old Timers recount the many tales of the sea, the ships, the islands, and the brave men who spent so much of their lives in the task of island hopping with passengers, freight, and mail.”—C. Marvin Thompson In her book, Pirates Pineapples and People, which was first published in 1961, Nikki Beare tells of the history of the Upper Florida Keys—the history of a very unique area. “It is a part of the United States that has very few written records. The Upper Keys have had a tremendous and fabulous history from earliest times. “Over the centuries, any records that were written (very few) have been lost...washed away in the numerous hurricanes that touched the coral shores. By poking around in old book stores, libraries, reading old newspapers, writing to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., reading letters written by historians, a basis for fact has been established. What cannot be found on paper is in the memories of the old-timers...Some are tales handed down from one generation to another...others are true stories, as close as possible to actual happenstance without actual records to verify.”—Nikki Beare
