Cannons, captives and colour: Pirates land in George Town
George Town surrendered to cannon fire, cutlasses and carefully choreographed chaos on Saturday, as Pirates Week delivered its signature spectacle, the Pirates Landing, on the waterfront in Hog Sty Bay.
This year, three pirate vessels breached the harbour at 3pm, led by the notorious Bloody Bay Buccaneers and the Las Tortugas Pirates, their black flags waving against the sea breeze as volleys of mock cannon fire rolled across the water. There were no Spanish invaders, no foreign corsairs – these were home-grown marauders, distinctly and proudly Caymanian pirates. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
