Jose Gaspar, a respected, Spanish naval officer who turned pirate, is inspiration for the annual Gasparilla festival in Tampa, Florida. Each year, the 165 foot pirate ship "The Jose Gasparilla" enters Tampa Bay and its crew invades the city. Nearly half a million people view the invasion andaccompanying parade which moves along Bayshore Boulevard. With the beads and thousands of party-goers, many people consider Gasparilla to be Tampa's equivalent of Mardi Gras. The pirate festival has been held for over 100 years and attracts visitors from all over the world.

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main... and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.” Walt Disney

“Merchant and pirate were for a long period one and the same person. Even today mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality.” Friedrich Nietzsche
