The Pirates of Lost Treasure, Inc. was established in 1992 in Perdido Key, Florida. A small group of swashbucklers from the Key noticed the southeast flourishing with Mardi Gras krewes. Wanting to be part of the celebration, they hung a sign on the Reef’s door inviting all who were adventurous and lighthearted to apply for Piratehood. The result was a club of hearty, generous pirates that not only wanted to parade and party, but to help their neighbors at the same time.
