Book excerpt: Two young boys, Adam and Gord, and their curious and charming little sister, Molly, make it their mission to solve the mystery of the phantom ship while visiting their aunt and uncle’s farm over Easter break. The children overhear conversations around the mystery and try to solve why it is that everyone is so afraid of the phantom ship. What role does old Ben, the one-eyed crow, play? And how will the mysterious black cat help find clues for the children’s search of the phantom ship? Will the children ever uncover the mystery that remains about the phantom ship, and will they witness the terrifying and unnerving encounter that has left so many locals haunted? Why does the burning phantom ship rise from the depths of Chaleur Bay? Why do onlookers see fireballs flying through the sky from the burning three-masted ship and hear eerie screams echoing across the bay? Why can no one find the remains of the burning pirate ship? These are all questions that the three children in the story try to solve. The phantom ship is very real. Thousands of people who live on both sides of Chaleur Bay (lying between Quebec’s Gaspe Coast and Bathurst, New Brunswick) have witnessed this strange phenomenon and have been haunted by it ever since.

Download or read book The Last Pirate of New York written by Rich Cohen and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was he New York City’s last pirate . . . or its first gangster? This is the true story of the bloodthirsty underworld legend who conquered Manhattan, dock by dock—for fans of Gangs of New York and Boardwalk Empire. “History at its best . . . I highly recommend this remarkable book.”—Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God Handsome and charismatic, Albert Hicks had long been known in the dive bars and gin joints of the Five Points, the most dangerous neighborhood in maritime Manhattan. For years, he operated out of the public eye, rambling from crime to crime, working on the water in ships, sleeping in the nickel-a-night flops, drinking in barrooms where rat-baiting and bear-baiting were great entertainments. His criminal career reached its peak in 1860, when he was hired, under an alias, as a hand on an oyster sloop. His plan was to rob the ship and flee, disappearing into the teeming streets of lower Manhattan, as he’d done numerous times before, eventually finding his way back to his nearsighted Irish immigrant wife (who, like him, had been disowned by her family) and their infant son. But the plan went awry—the ship was found listing and unmanned in the foggy straits of Coney Island—and the voyage that was to enrich him instead led to his last desperate flight. Long fascinated by gangster legends, Rich Cohen tells the story of this notorious underworld figure, from his humble origins to the wild, globe-crossing, bacchanalian crime spree that forged his ruthlessness and his reputation, to his ultimate incarnation as a demon who terrorized lower Manhattan, at a time when pirates anchored off 14th Street. Advance praise for The Last Pirate of New York “A remarkable work of scholarship about old New York, combined with a skillfully told, edge-of-your-seat adventure story—I could not put it down.”—Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia “With its wise and erudite storytelling, Rich Cohen’s The Last Pirate of New York takes the reader on an exciting nonfiction narrative journey that transforms a grisly nineteenth-century murder into a shrewd portent of modern life. Totally unique, totally compelling, I enjoyed every page.”—Howard Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Gangland and American Lightning

As Dylan and Antonine begin to research the famous ghost ship of the Bay de Chaleur, they raise more questions than they answer. Does Antonine's father hold a clue to the mystery?
