Privateers, Buccaneers – and perhaps even a Sea Chantey or two!
Though we list these as “walks”, we are equally able to present to schools, museums, libraries, team building, youth/senior groups…or anyone wishing to see participate in some “living history” about Pyrates, the Great Lakes & Canada – hail the Captain for more info.
PLEASE NOTE: There are no scheduled walks after Labour Day Weekend.
Port Dover
Lake Erie may be home to more nautical mis-adventures than any o’ the Great Lakes; interesting since it’s also the shallowest!
- The Burmese ship that became an Australian prison and ended up as a notorious sideshow in Lake Erie 100 years later
- The giant woman who saved drowning sailors during a storm by carrying them in from the waves
- “Mooncussers” and why sailors feared them
- Rum Runners, Bootleggers & Prohibition
- Treasures from the lake…and those still buried
- The Lake Erie Quadrangle (more deadly than the Bermuda Triangle)
- $100,000 reward for capture of “Bessie” – the Lake Erie Sea Monster
