Abstract:

Beaufort native, Carl Cannon Jr. and his crew will preside at this year's Beaufort Pirate Invasion, scheduled for September 23-25, 2022. The first pirate reenactment in Beaufort was held in 1960 by the local fire department. It recalled the 1747 invasion of Beaufort by Spanish privateers. With previous background as a commercial fisherman, Carl outfitted a sailboat in 2012 as a replicate of an eighteenth century pirate ship.
