From the "Golden Age" of piracy to Confederate privateers and oyster pirates, the maritime communities of the Chesapeake Bay are intimately tied to a fascinating history of intrigue, plunder, and illicit commerce raiding. Join historian Dr. Jamie L. H. Goodall as she guides you through centuries of piracy and privateering in and around the Chesapeake Bay. Learn more about how pirates founded a college in the Virginia colony, why a growing nation relied on the Chesapeake for privateering success, and what led to piracy persisting in the region well into the 20th century!
