Come and learn about the outrageous acts and high jinks of our local scallywags. As part of our month-long celebration of pirates, Dr. Ralph Eshelman will give his popular presentation on “Picaroons, Privateers, Buccaneers and Corsairs: Robbery on the High Seas" – an illustrated lecture on piracy including the Othello Affair - an incidence of French pirates on the Patuxent River in 1807. 

The presentation will take place on Sunday, November 12, at 2 p.m. in the museum auditorium.  Admission to the talk is free and open to the public.
