Event Description
Long Island is a body of land surrounded by water. Over time, that proximity to the ocean, the sound, the bays, and estuaries has proven to be both a blessing and a curse to the island’s inhabitants. While these waterways have sustained Long Islanders for centuries, they were also exploited through the years by a motley crew of pirates, privateers, midnight raiders, and Prohibition-era rumrunners. Learn about this notorious band of marauding swashbucklers as historian Noel Gish highlights some of the most colorful characters visiting Long Island’s shores.
