St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum is happy to support the Gentler Pirates Gathering - Piracy has mellowed over the years. First, the Ancient City Privateers hosting the 7th annual St. Augustine Pirate Gathering this weekend at Francis Field is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Then proceeds (formerly booty) from the affair will go toward providing local children with the ability to attend summer camp through the St. Lighthouse Maritime Archeology Program rather than pirate chests. And theyll have a Kids Fun Zone including pony rides. Not to disappoint the bloodthirsty, theyll take on the local Spanish garrison. Over the past six years each side has won three skirmishes. Look for a formal pirate ball Friday night to allow the ladies and gentlemen to dress in their finest pirate garb and throughout the weekend black powder demonstrations, live music, a living history encampment, arts & craft vendors, food, even a chance to have a local celebrity walk the plank into a dunk tank as part of a St. Francis House fundraiser. thepirategathering/
