You're thinking of New York & San Francisco, both of which had extensive pirate/privateer caves/tunnels carved into the bluffs overlooking the water. There is a "street" called Pirate's Alley in New Orleans, but that's about it. Pirates in New Orleans didn't have to hide anything from anyone, really, and most of them actually operated out of the bayous, not the city.
New Orleans only has one tunnel, and that isn't even in the city proper, but out in Gretna, if memory serves, and is only a block long.

O, you are right. The tunnels for hijacking sailors were in San Francisco. It was in more modern times that I heard stories about people going down to NO to hit Merchant Marines in the head and rob them. Sorry about the confusion. Goody's brain is getting overloaded, I guess. It happens once you hit 50. If I could just figure out how to use more of it,:laugh: maybe I could free up some space.
