Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park

Regional District of Nanaimo, Canada

Pirates Cove Marine Provincial Park is a provincial park on De Courcy Island in British Columbia, Canada. The area of the park was historically used by local First Nations, with shell middens indicating their presence up to 3,000 years before the present day. In the early 1900's, the site was a homestead for the Aquarian Foundation cult led by Edward Arthur Wilson (also referred to as "Brother XII"), who enticed approximately 8,000 followers to area in the 1920's and 1930's.
