Pirates of the Old Bahama Bank

Early 1850s, aboard the brig Horse Mackerel, off the coast of Cuba.  The crew desperately load cannons and distribute pikes, as a pirate ship chases them down.  Will they be boarded and murdered, or will they get away?




This story is from Ocean Adventures by John Sherburne Sleeper, published in Boston, Mass. in 1857.  For over a dozen more episodes go to the Sea Stories and Science Fiction Podcast.
