In the early 18th-century, daring sea captains who were willing to take on the enormous risks of sailing high-value cargoes in the "Golden Age of Piracy" could become extraordinarily wealthy. One such man was Captain Archibald Macpheadris, who in 1716, used his great wealth to build a grand mansion on Daniel Street in Portsmouth, NH, now known as the Warner House.  During this talk by Dave Pepson, hear tales of Portuguese gold, high risk trade routes, and his a 350-ton, 24-gun ship named the Richmond, thought to be the largest in New England at the time. Dave will even share a connection between Macpheadris and the American Revolution - despite the 50 year gap between the two.
