CAPTAIN MARROW
The Official Captain Marrow Site
Do you wish to uncover the secrets of pirate folklore and the mysteries of their buried treasure? If so, this is the perfect book for you. Written by pirate historian Captain Marrow, this book takes you on an exciting journey to reveal the truth behind the claimed tales that span from Florida's western panhandle to the Keys, up past the ancient city of St. Augustine, along the waters of Georgia and the Carolinas, and to the northernmost shores of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay. Legends such as those surrounding the likes of Jose Gaspar, Black Caesar, Billy Bowlegs, William Kidd, and of course the legendary Blackbeard.
Do pirates haunt St. Augustine's Castillo de San Marcos, and what of buried treasure just outside of Charleston? Hauntings on Ocracoke in the Outer Banks, and secreted away pirate gold along the James River of Virginia? This work explores these intriguing claims and many more!

Adam Morrow, alias Captain Marrow, is a pirate historian, reenactor, artist, photographer, and model. Originally from South Haven, Michigan, and growing up on the Great Lakes ever-enthralled by pirate media, his focus turned to history after relocating to the southeast Atlantic coast in 2006. For many years he has operated the pirate history page "Shipwrecked with Captain Marrow" on Facebook, traveling the southeast shores investigating pirate lore and educating locals while on these endeavors, as well as partaking in public educational functions at museums and events.
He currently resides near the port of Charleston, South Carolina; a location rich in pirate history. There, together with his partner Ava, they care for their family of rescue cats. In 2018 he began researching and writing his first history book, Pirate Ghosts & Buried Treasures of the Southeast Coast: A Historical Assessment on Pirate Folklore, which released in September of 2023.
