Sure, there were pirates in the Caribbean, but the Great Lakes had them too

by Rebecca Williams, Michigan Public Radio Michigan Radio's M I Curious project is a news experiment where we investigate questions submitted by the public about our state and its people. As part of our M I Curious project, Shelly Scott asked Michigan Radio this question: Have there ever been pirates on the Great Lakes? “I thought: we’ve got such nice water bodies around here, why don’t we hear anything about fantastic things that happened on the Great Lakes?” she says. http://michiganradio.org/post/sure-there-were-pirates-caribbean-great-lakes-had-them-too
