The two sites are side by side. One is inscribed with “Mr Hubbard A Cuban pirate Found dead in woods. June 18 1850. The second one says “ Jose Perfino El Indio A Cuban pirate Killed 1850. The pirate tombstones in Oaklawn today are not the originals. The Tampa Historical Society replaced them in the 1970s, along with others that were crumbling, but nobody knows where the originals are, or if they have any more to tell us about Tampa’s pirate graves.
