Captain Tito Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Aye mateys if'n ye read my event post about Alex Bay's Pirate Days then ye knows about Bill Johnston. I thought that twar all there was to it. Seems the illustrious pirate also found himself as keeper of the Rock Island Lighthouse (just west of Alex Bay on the mighty St. Lawrence) fer a time in the early 1800s. Then I come to find out the real kicker!! Unlike most of his pirate breatheren, HE WAS PARDONED, BY PRESIDENT HARRISON!! Just goes to show ye, some Pirates have ALL THE LUCK!! <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Have Parrot Bay, will travel. WILL SHARE TOO!!!</span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
