The legend of Gaspar started circulating in the early-1900s south of Tampa, in the Charlotte Harbor area. George Hardee, a customs agent for Florida who traveled between Charlotte Harbor and Tampa, played a role in bringing the story to the bay area. “He happened to be talking to a woman at the Tampa Tribune called Louise Frances dodge, and she was talking to him about how the May Day Parade needed some livening up,” said Kite-Powell. “He said, ‘Well, you know, I’ve heard about this legend of this pirate. What if you got some prominent young men in Tampa to dress up as pirates and invade the parade? She thought that was a great idea.” So, in 1904, the young men invaded the May Day Parade on horseback and disappeared.
