Historians James Parker, Dianne Snowden, Malcolm Ward and Craig Brown will reveal the fascinating and true stories of the convicts who stole Seaflower and gave Pirates Bay its name. These pirates were not in search of gold but freedom, and a return to loved ones. You will also hear the stories of the free settlers caught up in this saga. A truly unique Tasmanian tale! Free, bookings essential.

Everyone is welcome to be part of this truly historic event.
