Captain Jack Morgan

Secure your valuables and hide the rum, that scallywag pirate, Captain Jack is in our town! Pirates of the Treasure Coast’s Captain Jack Morgan has been making appearances and entertaining everyone he meets from coast to coast. His uncanny mannerisms, combined with his swagger and stagger, are probably the main reason why Jack Morgan has become one of the most recognized Jack Sparrow impersonators available for hire! He will be on hand at this event for pictures in exchange for a smile, maybe a taste of rum, or perhaps that shiny gold thing you are wearing. Savvy?
