Out of the Sea! A pirate story in 13 parts

Three centuries ago, any ship coming or going along the Virginia coast was at the mercy of pirates, and a righteous colonial governor had had enough. In the spring of 1700, in a historic encounter, forces of good and evil came face to face in Lynnhaven Bay. Sometimes, it was hard to tell which was which.

Interesting history tidbit ......I have an old history book (1908) which tells of a battle over hunting rights between MD and Virginia that occurred at the mouth of the Pocomoke river. There was a battle between 2 ships and one was sunk in that area. It occurred in the 1600's makes you wonder what happened to the remnants of the ship.
