and a business in providing rec

To Jim Johnson is due much Of

Fishing Camp. Jim representing
the local. realty firm sold, in
1925, to Mr. Wright. 73.45 acres
of land on Sugar Loaf Key. The
first tract was bought from A.

acquired $3.50 acres more from
Arthur Gomez and others.

In the Spring of 1929 Mr..
Wright decided to-. build a small
fishing camp on the waterfront.
The location was ideal for the
purpose as the subsequent years
have shown. Mr.. Johnson was in
charge of the. undertaking which
marked the birth of Pirates
Cove.
A dock two hundred feet long
with an approach six feet wide
was built, and a pierhead up to
20 feet. The arrangement per-
mitted landing of the largest
fishing boats in use in Sugar
Loaf waters. The site was of
course a somewhat nondescript
place at first, but. after the first
season is was developed into a
most attractive location. Walks
were built and a lodge was put
up early in January, 1890. with
Accommodations for Is people.
A firm believer in publicity.
Mr.. Wright got the Florida East
Coast to map the camp and al
though trains did not stop there

men and women did, motoring
up from Key West.
