Swashbuckling tales of pirates and plunder, we think of palm trees, and the sun-scorched shores of the Caribbean. Yet, some of the most ruthless men and women of the seven seas raised hell in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and along the jagged coasts of the Maritimes. Conception Bay, NF, was a haven for pirates and notorious Peter Easton, headquartered in nearby Harbour Grace, acquired a fortune. The golden age of piracy had begun. Legends like Captain Morgan found plenty of experienced sailors on Canada’s east coast to crew for them and participate in the division of the booty. Today, tales of buried treasure and pirate ghosts hint at real history when lawless pirates sailed the Canadian seas in search of treasure.
