Pirates & Patriots Launches on Boston’s Waterfront

Pirates and patriots alike were a part of Boston’s waterfront and the creation of our great city and country as we know it today.   Boston’s Freedom Trail® is bringing their stories alive by providing affordable and educational fun to visitors and residents.  Boston’s “must-see” history this year is enhanced with a NEW walking tour of Boston harbor, rebellious deeds of colonial agitators, global trade, embargoes, hijackings, and pirate pranks.  Sound familiar?  The Freedom Trail Foundation’s Pirates & Patriots 90-minute walking tour, with an 18th century costumed guide, launches on June 1 and is offered daily at 12:30 p.m. from the ArtsBoston booth at Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
