Beautiful day for a history cruise around the bay.
Beautiful day for a history cruise around the bay.
every year in Tampa they recreate a massive pirate invasion where the fully rigged pirate ship "Jose Gasparilla" will come into the city with hundreds of small boats escorting the ship into the city... like a maritime Mardi Gras... a parade is held later in the city where everyone dresses up like pirates and collects beads from the passing pirate floats #KidsFun #florida
