Join Eric & Captain Bob, the blue & gold macaw, for an exciting, historic walking tour through what was once the walled city of Charles Towne. Or join us every Friday at 1:30 at the Powder Magazine Museum for Eric's exciting storytelling performance of "Charleston's Golden Age of Piracy."
In authentic costume & accompanied by Capt. Bob, the parrot, Eric Lavender shares stories of the pirates who plundered, partied, and perished in Charles Towne. Eric brings Charleston's Golden Age of Piracy to life with stories of Blackbeard's siege of the city, the capture and execution of Stede Bonnet and other pirates, the romance between Calico Jack and Anne Bonny, and much more! Along the way, learn about the city’s most historical buildings and events. 
- Why did Blackbeard blockade the Charleston harbor?
- Where was the notorious Anne Bonny's favorite watering hole?
- Why did the Gentleman Pirate, Stede Bonnet, don a dress? - Why did Anne Bonny & Mary Read dress as men?
- What was Calico Jack's connection to Charleston?
- Which pirates danced the hempen jig in White Point Gardens? - Why did pirates wear eye patches?
These are just a few of the questions that Eric answers as he tells tales of historic Charleston, leading you to the hangouts, "haunts," and final resting places of pirates, who made Charleston one of their ports-o-call during “Golden Age of Piracy” (1690-1730).
