2011 Baratarian Cup Award Winner 

The General Andrew Jackson Baratarian Cup dates back to the War of 1812 when a group of “pirates” aided General Andrew Jackson during the Battle of New Orleans.  (Dominique Youx was a  pseudonym for Frederick Alexander Lafitte).  Youx presented Jackson with the cup he was carrying from his ship  “Circe of Barataria”  for Jackson’s great leadership during the battle.
