CrazyCholeBlack Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) For more images of the Great Lakes River Pirates raid on Historic Fort Wayne, including some very nice photos of the 5 boats we had at the event, please see the corresponding blog entry on Slightly Obsessed Friday last, the forces of the Great Lakes River Pirates, under the guidance of Lt.'s Garland & Lith, gathered at the confluence of the St. Joseph, St. Marys, and Maumee Rivers for a planned raid on Fort Wayne, situated there. The good Lt. Lith, having taken much to drink and gambling at Black's Coffeehouse on Saturday night, attempted to alter the outcome of a dice game, instead found himself engaged in a duel the following morning.
