General Note
The name and foundation of Tampa's traditional Gasparilla Carnival come from legendary pirate Jose Gaspar, "last of the Buccaneers," who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early 19th century. The carnival has been celebrated almost every year since 1904.
Note the Jose Gasparilla ship passing the Platt St. bridge as it enters the Hillsborough River.
