So sometimes Google rains on our parade. The images of Gasperilla looked so enticing but then my search switched to “The name Gasparilla was born from Jose Gaspar, a pirate who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Fond of calling himself "Gasparilla", Gaspar and his band of pirates lived a life of seizing and robbing merchant ships off the Gulf Coast until 1821”
Not all of history was happy for all :/
