Nix's Mate, a historical site in Boston Harbor, was once a 12-acre island notorious for its use as a place of execution for pirates. The island's haunting past is characterized by legends of Captain Nix and his mate, as well as the tales of notorious pirates like William Fly, whose skeletal remains served as grim warnings to mariners.
Today, Nix's Mate remains a gravelly shoal, marked by a striking beacon that stands as a reminder of its dark history. Despite its intriguing lore and cultural significance, the location is federal property and not open to the public, ensuring that its secrets remain undisturbed.
