"On Gasparilla Invasion Day the good ship Jose Gaparilla is put into Tampa's Hillsborough River with cannons booming, small arms rattling and the Jolly Roger flying in the breeze."
An estimated crowd of 750,000 Tampans and visitors clamored to see the pirates as they sailed into Tampa for the 36th "sacking" of the city.
