Found a nice cache in a park with a view of the water. Halifax has a rich history with Pirates and piracy.
The last major piracy trial in Nova Scotia was in 1844 when a gang of six pirates were brought to Halifax in 1844 when their ship, the barque Saladin, was shipwrecked on the Eastern Shore. Saladin had a cargo of silver bars and a large shipment of coins They had mutinied and killed the captain and half the crew before falling out among themselves. Initially charged with piracy, they were subsequently convicted of murder. Four of them were hanged near the old VG hospital on South Park Street. Two are believed to be buried under the sidewalk at the Library on Spring Garden Road
Good luck to this little bug on its search for pirate history!
