Not all tales of piracy belong to the Caribbean. Ned Low and the dread pirate Roberts sailed eastern Canada’s waters too! Captain Kidd and Blackbeard are said to have left vast treasure hauls along the Nova Scotian shore. Our coasts brought both pirates and privateers success or failure, riches or capture. Bring your sense of adventure and discover the differences between villainous pirates and patriotic privateers in this engaging talk and tour with our own heritage interpreter Andrew Aulenback.
Andrew has been a heritage interpreter at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic for over ten years and is highly active around the province as a historical re-enactor from Liverpool to Louisbourg. He is also a folklorist, a member of the Jules Verne Phantastical Society and if that wasn’t enough, his Monday to Friday job is as a librarian with the Halifax Regional School Board!
