With the support of local businesses, citizens and ECU alumni, 16 “life-sized” Pirate statues decorate the streets and businesses across Pitt County as part of the Painted Pirate Project.
The pirates, which were unveiled in April 2008, will stay at their respective locations for approximately one year.
The East Carolina Alumni Association and the Greenville-Pitt County Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the ECU Office of Centennial Events, kicked off the project during the 2007 Inaugural PirateFest.
For the exact location of the 16 pirates, please visit the Photo Gallery. Move your cursor over each pirate to obtain its address.
