Background
A very long time ago, pirates roamed around the seas of the Caribbean and Atlantic. A lot of them made their way towards the Gulf of Mexico, to Yucatan, and eventually to the shores of Texas and Louisiana.
One of the most famous pirates, even made Galveston his home for a period of time. Jean Lafitte helped defend our nation with Andrew Jackson in the battle of New Orleans, then sailed away from Louisiana, settling on Galveston. Here you can come and learn about the myths, legends, and stories of the Buccaneers.
