History at Sunset: Pirate or Patriot?

Did you know that colonial Boston was a hub of activity for the most notorious pirates in the 1700s? During this “Golden Age of Piracy” pirates lived in Boston, were imprisoned here, and sometimes executed here. This tour examines the lives of several of the most famous pirates who walked the streets of Boston, including Captain William Kidd, “Black” Sam Bellamy, Ned Lowe, and Willian Fly.

The tour will start outside Faneuil Hall near the Sam Adams Statue and will cover approximately 1.5 miles over uneven surfaces and cross multiple intersections in a highly populated urban area.
