About this listen

 When we think of pirates, we picture the tropics. Rum. Cannonballs. Eye patches and parrots. But not all piracy came with a flag. And some of it happened much closer to home. In this episode, we dive into the eerie and violent history of piracy on the Great Lakes and inland waterways-- from the Harpe Brothers and the bloody bluffs of Cave-in-Rock to the Apostle Islands bandits and a timber thief turned government informant. These are stories without palm trees. Without treasure maps. Just cold water, easy targets, and men who vanished into the fog. Welcome to The Archives.
