  • Summary

  • They are the quintessential pirate couple: Captain Eric Cobham and his first mate and partner in crime, the ruthless Maria Lindsay. Legend has it that this dreadful duo once haunted the waters of eastern Canada, slaughtering every sailor and sinking every ship they encountered for 20 years. Stories of their exploits can still be found all along the east coast from New York, to Newfoundland, but is there any truth to the tale?
