8. Salem History: Black Gold & Legal Pirates

Hello!
Join local Salem tour guides Sarah Black and Jeffrey Lilley for a discussion on Salem's rich and diverse maritime history. Centuries ago, this city was known around the world. Not for witches–but as a hub for international trade. Let's talk pepper, pirates, and America's first millionaire!
