Did you know that a visit to Gardiners Island led to famed pirate Captain Kidd dying on the gallows in London? Or that the Atlantic Ocean off the South Shore became known as Rum Row during Prohibition? The area was frequented by bootleggers like William “The Real McCoy” McCoy who supplied gangsters like Al Capone and Dutch Schultz. Join us for an illuminating talk with historian, author and former Newsday reporter Bill Bleyer and discover all about Long Island’s fascinating maritime past, from pirates to bootleggers.
