Pirate Words and Phrases

While the “golden age of piracy” was the early 1700’s piracy found new life in and around the Northwest Florida Coast about 100 years later. While historians debate the factual existence of Billy Bowlegs, the legendary pirate who hid his treasure along the waters of Fort Walton Beach and invaded the city, the Emerald Coast chooses to celebrate our pirate history.
