The Shady Isle Pirates are an all-ages registered non-profit family friendly society based in Steveston, British Columbia.
Our mission is to promote and preserve nautical heritage while raising money for charitable and cultural organizations by experiencing maritime culture and arts from a hands-on re-enactment approach.
In addition, we are actively operating the mini-brigs, Liberte and Adventure in messabouts, and in festivals, as well as working on costuming, historical weaponry, dance and traditional music. Hundreds of hours go into maintaining the brigs each year from her volunteer crews. A percentage of any monies raised are donated to nautical heritage sites, charitable organizations and cultural projects in our community and abroad.
AYE!! COME PIRATE WITH US! Join us TODAY!
We are always looking for nautically minded individuals who are interested in "messing-about" in boats, sharing nautical traditions such as music and shanty singing, costuming, learning the art of sword-fighting or participating in festivals and raising money or volunteering for local charity events and nautical heritage organizations.

The Titania was a celebrated tea clipper that is famous for carrying salmon from Steveston and Ladner direct to London. She was once commanded by the beloved Captain James "Dandy" Dunn. Dunn unfortunately met a gruesome end when he walked off the end of the pier in New Westminster, one dark and rainy night in mid-October in 1890. This is her story told in its entirety.
