The Pirate Island of Jean Lafitte
Find Out About A Real-Life Pirate - Pirate or patriot? Smuggler or businessman? Merciless murderer and thief, or hero in time of war? These are the contradictions of the legendary Jean Laffite. His harsh actions have secured his place in infamy, but his motives remain a mystery to this day. Whatever the reasons, the mere mention of Laffite in the early decades of the 1800s sent merchant ships throughout the Gulf of Mexico racing for safe harbor. During the last three years of his marauding campaign, Laffite made Galveston Island his base of operations. As for the treasure he is said to have buried there, none has been found…yet.
The Pirate Island of Jean Laffite shows daily every half hour, from 11:30 – 5:30, at the Pier 21 Theater, Harborside Drive and 21st St.
Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for students, ages 6 to 18, and free for children under 6.
