Publisher's Synopsis
As a retired sea captain I have been asked to bring forth the facts of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises demise and sinking and to present them to the court of public opinion to be judged. It is the strange story of Captain Mike Burke of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises and His Pirates. It's said he sank more ships than any pirate. He was also the largest operator of tall sailing ships in the world and has been called one of the last pirates. In his quest to haul white cargo he may have skirted the law, avoided taxes, registered his ships in foreign countries and sailed unsafe seas. These facts are not in dispute.This account of Burke is based on historical data available to anyone seeking pirates who cares to poke into dark corners of the Caribbean. This story is based on facts. Within it the truth of the story of Windjammers Barefoot Cruises demise will emerge for examination and judgment.
