JUNE 3, 1817~ On this day, Jean and Pierre Lafitte cast off from New Orleans and turned their bows westward into the Gulf. Behind them lay the swamps and bayous of Louisiana. Ahead waited a lonely island on the Texas coast, a place few could imagine would soon become a kingdom of sails, cannon smoke, and legend.
Galveston.
From that voyage would rise Campeche, the last great stronghold of the Lafittes. Merchants, privateers, smugglers, and adventurers from across the Gulf would gather beneath its black flags and crowded wharves. For four remarkable years, the island would become the center of a maritime empire that challenged nations and captured the imagination of generations. ~Jean Lafitte. #jeanlafitte #PirateKing #lafittetradingcompany #piratekingcoffee #frenchquarter
