Ep 68 - Albert Hicks, The Last Pirate of New York

It's time for a tale of murder on the high-ish seas with the story of Albert Hicks, who loved a good mutiny when money was on his mind.
What happened aboard the E A Johnson sloop? What is a sea axe? And what's the best way to catch shellfish?
The secret ingredient is...oysters!
