About the Owner

Peg-Leg Tom was born sometime in 1965.  He was abducted shortly after birth by the common law wife of DB Cooper who was determined to try his hand at air piracy, having long ago lost his pirate ship to a group of thieving lawyers...uh, sharks.

After his father's failed attempt at Air Piracy, Peg-Leg Tom was abandoned by his mother under a highway overpass, where he was set upon by a vicious pack of bilge rats which ate away most of his lower left leg.  After watching an episode of 'McGyver', Peg-Leg Tom was able to fashion a peg-leg from toothpicks, matchsticks, and chewing gum.  He wore this leg for many years.

With the advances in modern prosthetics, Peg-Leg Tom received a new leg which is virtually impossible to tell from a fake leg (except for a minor limp), and won a new ship at a poker game.  During a fierce gale, the ship ran aground in St. Augustine.  While undergoing repairs, some city officials paid him a visit and told him that he didn't have a permit to park a ship on the shore, so Tom, bein' without legal representation (allergic to lawyers...), decided on another plan.  He cut the masts and turned the ship into a Bed and Breakfast for the common man at 32 Treasury Street, where it stands til today....that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.....  Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!
