| In 1610 Peter Easton established a fort at Harbour Grace and used Newfoundland as his base of operations until 1614. In 1611, a French squadron of warships entered Harbour Grace to fight Peter Easton and his pirate fleet. The French were destroyed. Buried in this graveyard at Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, are pirates who died in the bloody battle between the "Pirate Admiral" and the French Navy. Their graves are unmarked. Photo by J. Crummey |
