Pirates ???

Have fished the section of the Ohio river, near my house, for 30 years.

 I've seen just about every kind of boat you could imagine and I thought I had seen it all......

But

While out, for a few hours, this past Monday I was surprised to see this vessel coming down river toward me.

It was so cool, I just had to shoot a few photos as it passed by.

If you look really close you can see a small cannon on the front part of the raised rear section.
