The first wooden model ship model I built was the 2nd USS Enterprise. So I was surprised to find out through research some of it's History and it's ties with this place. Jean Lafitte was called a Pirate, but... He had a Letter of Marque from Brazil that Authorized him as a Privateer. Brazil was a Portuguese territory and They did not get along with Spain. Jean Lafitte was a successful businessman in the Caribbean Islands, His wife, son and he were on a ship returning to France. The ship was stopped by a Spanish ship and the French ships company STRANDED on an island. Subsequently, before they were rescued, Lafitte's family died from an illness. So, he went to Brazil, got his Letter of Marque, and began a private war on the Spanish. He had several small fast ships in his service manned by other Captain's and Crews... He always had One strict rule. NEVER ATTACK AN AMERICAN OR BRITISH FLAGGED VESSEL UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH. Jean Lafitte's original base of operations was in the Bayou's of the Mississippi Delta, South of New Orleans. There are historical buildings in and around the French Quarter that belonged to him and his brother and still exists to this day. The war of 1812 broke out. In 1814, 3 days after the peace treaty between the US and Britain had been signed, The British invaded South of New Orleans to take control of the mouth of the Mississippi. General Zachary Taylor, 1500 American Regular's with 3 shots of ball and powder each marched into New Orleans to defend it. He knew he was out numbered and did not have the supplies to mount a defense. Mean time One of Lafitte's Captains had attacked a US flagged Vessel, looted it and killed everyone to cover it up. Some of the loot was sold and it was soon recognized to have come from the ship and Lafitte and his men branded Pirates. Warrants were issued. Lafitte approached General Taylor, the Govenor and Mayor and suggested, For Amnesty for himself and his men, He would provide all his cannon, men, shot and powder needed to mount a defense of New Orleans. Now, in that age, The art of Modern Artillery was just starting. Lafitte's men were formally in Napoleons Army and were cutting edge Artillery men. We all know the ending... but... New Orleans was going to have a huge victory shindig... Everyone was going to be there. As Jean Lafitte took his place on the Grandstand with the other Dignitaries, they all turned their back on him to snub him, except for General Taylor, who said, Gentlemen, "You all Know Captain Lafitte" and they snubbed him again. Talk in their circle was Yeah we know him, get a rope! Taylor refused the Amnesty but gave Lafitte and his men time to escape justice. They went to Galveston. So... This little 14 gun Brig USS ENTERPRISE sails into Mosquito Bay, clearly outnumbered by the Pirate Fleet. Sent word As a NAVY Vessel on Official Business they requested a Parley. Lafitte agreed and invited the Officer's to dinner at Mansion Rouge. After dinner terms were demanded. Both Parties agreed Lafitte was given 30 days to depart the premises... The Enterprise would go down to Campeachie MX to quell a revolt and return. After the allowed time, the Enterprise returned, Found the fleet dispersed and the mansion burned down. Keep in mind, there are not many places in Texas with French names, La Port, Tx is one and is very close to Galveston. After Lafite left... there were many rumors of him... But for all practical purposes... He just flat out disappeared.

@@TravelswithNick It was a long essay. I had to cut much of the detail's and all of the references out. I tell all this... Pirates or Privateers little matter These guys were business men. They did not bury money and jewels. It cost money and commodities to be successful, then and now. Like modern businessmen... the results are the same. How they profited, may be questionable. Did they bury it? Highly unlikely. Did they reinvest in their "Eneterprise"? Most undoubtedly. Romantic Notions, create rumors and speculation's. The more the merrier! This is one way that legends are born... and dreams stay alive. One fact... Jean Laffitte's Mansion Rouge was described in the Navy Log as a Red Castle with cannon's in the turrent's. It is also considered one of the first BRICK building's built in Galveston and Texas. Much was wood, and most of that was scavenged and lost after the 1900 storm. That part of the island wasn't raised after the storm. That's the only reason the foundation remains today.

That looked like you were in an historical Hall of Music museum, with all the different musicians, and styles represented. 🎶 That in itself would be worth the trip. LBJ, a person who became president under horrific circumstances... and who will forever be associated with the Vietnam War, on one side, and passing Civil Rights laws, on the other. No wonder, he did not want to run for another term. **His presidency had huge issues to deal with...Thank you, Nick, for another TOPNOTCH video. 🇺🇸 🎆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
