Bob Buckhorn makes his last stand against Gasparilla pirates

Though feeble at first, Buckhorn stood firm in his final battle with pirates as Tampa's mayor.

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn denies the pirates from Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla the key to the city during the annual pirate invasion on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 in Tampa. The event marks the annual beginning to the Gasparilla festivities.
