She was born into history — daughter of Aaron Burr, the scandal-scarred Vice President who once shot Alexander Hamilton. Brilliant, beautiful, and fiercely educated, Theodosia Burr Alston was destined to be more than just a footnote. But in 1813, she boarded a ship bound for New York… and vanished without a trace.
In this haunting episode, the Society dives into the many mysteries surrounding Theodosia’s disappearance: pirates, shipwrecks, ghostly sightings, and even coded letters found decades later. Was it a tragic accident? Or a cover-up worthy of the Burr name?
With nods to Hamilton and a heavy dose of dark historical intrigue, we untangle fact from folklore—and explore what might’ve happened when history's current swept Theodosia out to sea.
🕯️ Secrets, shipwrecks, and the shadow of legacy await.
