  • Going on the Account: Examining Golden Age Pirates As a Distinct
    GOING ON THE ACCOUNT: EXAMINING GOLDEN AGE PIRATES AS A DISTINCT CULTURE THROUGH ARTIFACT PATTERNING by Courtney E. Page December, 2014 Director of Thesis: Dr. Charles R. Ewen Major Department: Anthropology Pirates of the Golden Age (1650-1726) have become the stuff of legend. The way they looked and acted has been variously recorded through the centuries, slowly morphing them into the pirates of today’s fiction. Yet, many of the behaviors that create these images do not preserve in the archaeological environment and are just not good indicators of a pirate. Piracy is an illegal act and as a physical activity, does not survive directly in the archaeological record, making it difficult to study pirates as a distinct maritime culture. This thesis examines the use of artifact patterning to illuminate behavioral differences between pirates and other sailors. A framework for a model reflecting the patterns of artifacts found on pirate shipwrecks is presented. Artifacts from two early eighteenth century British pirate wrecks, Queen Anne’s Revenge (1718) and Whydah (1717) were categorized into five groups reflecting behavior onboard the ship, and frequencies for each group within each assemblage were obtained. The same was done for a British Naval vessel, HMS Invincible (1758), and a merchant vessel, the slaver Henrietta Marie (1699) for comparative purposes. There are not enough data at this time to predict a “pirate pattern” for identifying pirates archaeologically, and many uncontrollable factors negatively impact the data that are available, making a study of artifact frequencies difficult. This research does, however, help to reveal avenues of further study for describing this intriguing sub-culture.

  • The Jolly Jack Tar and Eighteenth-Century British Masculinity
    CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY Three Sheets to the Wind: The Jolly Jack Tar and Eighteenth-Century British Masculinity by Juliann Elizabeth Reineke A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 i Abstract My dissertation traces the development of the Jolly Jack Tar, a widespread image of the common British sailor, beginning with the formal establishment of Royal Navy in 1660 and ending in 1817 with the publication of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, a novel devoted to presenting a new model of the professional seaman. I also analyze Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719), Charles Johnson’s A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (1724), Tobias Smollett’s Roderick Random (1748), and Olaudah Equiano’s The Interesting Narrative (1789) in conjunction with ephemeral cultural artifacts like songs, cartoons, newspapers, and miscellany to fill in the variable, uneven history of the novelistic Jack Tar over the course of the long eighteenth century. My analysis seeks to answer the following questions: How do fictionalized accounts of sailors (like those found in novels) reflect, challenge, or reinforce the portrayal of sailors in other cultural texts, like songs or plays? How does print culture inflect the construction of Jack Tar, particularly regarding the figure’s connection to Britain and an emergent national identity? How do literary and cultural texts represent seamen’s complicated relationship to the home and the family, particularly when seamen were, by the nature of their profession, typically far from Britain? To answer these questions, I bring together print history, performance studies, post-colonial studies, maritime history, and disability studies.

  • David Wilson Piracy, Patronage & Political Economy: Captain Kidd
    David Wilson Piracy, Patronage & Political Economy: Captain Kidd and the East India Trade School of Humanities, University of Strathclyde, Lord Hope Building, 141 St. James Road, Glasgow G4 0LT +44(0)141 444 8219 [email protected] Piracy, Patronage & Political Economy: Captain Kidd and the East India Trade Abstract At the end of the seventeenth century, Whig and Tory debate over the organisation and future of the East India trade recognised the need for a closer relationship between merchant and state. However, the existence of an illicit pirate enterprise between New York, Madagascar and the Red Sea proved an obstruction to the future of this trade. This article seeks to explore the ill-fated voyage of Captain William Kidd of 1696-99 during which Kidd was commissioned to confront the Red Sea marauders as part of the state's war on piracy. It will be argued that in the process, he became intertwined with the development of political economy in post-revolution England and ultimately, became the necessary catalyst and martyr for political and economic change. Keywords: pirates, piracy, patronage, political economy, captain kidd, east india trade Introduction In 1701, the body of Captain William Kidd was suspended at Tilbury Point on the Thames in London. Kidd was a victim of the war on piracy mounted by the government against the geographic expansion of piratical activity from the Caribbean to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.1 Over the last decade of the seventeenth century, the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea became the major haunt of European pirates.

  • 194 Frederick H. Hanselmann This True Account of the Merchant Vessel
    194 book reviews Frederick H. Hanselmann, Captain Kidd’s Lost Ship: The Wreck of the Quedagh Merchant. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2019. xxii + 199 pp. (Cloth US$85.00) This true account of the merchant vessel Quedagh Merchant challenges the romance and mythology of piracy. Captain William Kidd was an ambitious man who lived and died during a time of emerging globalization that made the world smaller, and in which there were tremendous institutional and gov- ernmental shifts taking place around the world. In Captain Kidd’s Lost Ship, Frederick Hanselmann brings to light the social, political, and human influ- ences affecting world events between the close of the seventeenth century and the early eighteenth-century age of pirates. During 1696–99, the actions of Cap- tain Kidd, a privateer and affluent citizen in the British American colonies, together with the subsequent exertion of international political pressures and shifting personal and governmental alliances, resulted in his being accused, imprisoned, found guilty, hanged, and gibbeted over the River Thames in 1701; his lot became a symbol for all to witness the fate to be faced—going forward— for acts of piracy. While he was not necessarily innocent, that is how he viewed his actions. To his dismay, instead of being heralded as a hero among his asso- ciates and benefactors for capturing Quedagh Merchant and delivering wealth to his allies, his life was destroyed. This fascinating book explores archaeology, historical fact, human nature, and psychology to tease out the true story of Captain Kidd and the Quedagh Merchant. Hanselmann begins with a chronology of events between the 1500s and the twenty-first century, guiding readers through the complexities of his- tory that resulted in Kidd’s emergence and decline, and the capture and loss of his ship.

  • Historia De La Piratería Marítima, Extraiga De La Lectura De Esta Obra Un Caudal De Conocimientos Y Elementos Apreciables
    Philip Gosse HISTORIA DE LA PIRATERIA http://www.scribd.com/Insurgencia 2 http://Rebeliones.4shared.com PRESENTACIÓN Esta obra que ahora colocamos en los anaqueles de nuestra Biblioteca Virtual Antorcha , la Historia de la pirateria de Philip Gosse, guarda para nosotros gratos recuerdos, ya que se encuentra íntimamente relacionada con nuestras primeras lecturas de juventud. En efecto, la adquirimos a principios de la década de 1960 -tal vez 1962 o 1963-, en una librería ubicada en la esquina que forman las calles Bucareli y Av. Juárez, en la ciudad de México. Desde un principio fue un reto el leerla, porque con su letra menudita y sus trescientas treinta y seis páginas constituía una proesa para quienes apenas contábamos con doce años; sin embargo, más temprano que tarde nos dimos a la tarea de iniciar su lectura y ... cuál no sería nuestra sorpresa al percatarnos de que su contenido distaba mucho del título de la colección en que había sido publicada. En efecto, al pié de la carátula, el libro lleva la leyenda: Historia y aventura , lo que nos indujo a pensar que esa obra era una especie de novela de aventuras pero ... poco tardamos en cerciorarnos de que no era así, de que la temática era planteada desde una óptica muy alejada de las novelas de aventuras. En un principio, sentimos molestia, desagrado, ya que el libro no llenaba nuestras espectativas. Quien lea esto quizá se pregunte ¿por qué no lo hojeamos en la librería antes de adquirirlo?, y la respuesta es muy sencilla, sucede que en aquellos años muchas editoriales sacaban a la venta sus libros sin refinar , es decir, con los pliegos doblados, o si se entiende mejor, con las hojas pegadas , por lo que el lector debia antes de empezar la lectura, tomarse el tiempo necesario para, con un cuchillo, ir separando , una a una, las hojas del libro.

  • “Quedagh Merchant”
    The quest for the Armenian vessel, “QUedaGh Merchant” The next “AYAS” expedition exploring Armenian maritime his- tory, trade and piracy. The Armenian merchant ship Quedagh Merchant was taken off the Indian Coast by Captain William Kidd, the notorious privateer/pirate, in 1698, and sailed to the Caribbean. Full of treasure from the Indies, the Quedagh Merchant was finally scuttled off an unknown island, but not before Kidd had sold some of the treasure on the spot and presumably buried the rest. In December 2007, the AYAS Nautical Research Club will undertake a Caribbean expedition in search of the wreck of the Quedagh Merchant The expedition will explore the Caribbean in the vessel ‘Ana- hit’, a 46 foot ketch, sailing under the Armenian flag. The search will start from the Bahamas and cover Cuba, Tor- tuga, Dominican Republic, Mona Island (an uninhabited island where Kidd is known to have sailed in the Quedagh Merchant), Puerto Rico, Anguilla, Guadeloupe and Dominica as well as various other exotic locations. Unique opportunity to be associated with both a 17th century adventure story and an important slice of Armenian mercantile and maritime history. New Adventure of AYAS Maritime Club AYAS Adventure of New “Quedagh Merchant” (ship) ...Kidd took his most valuable prize, the Arme- nian ship Quedagh Merchant, in January 1698 and scuttled his own unseaworthy Adventure Galley. When he reached Anguilla, in the West Indies (April 1699), he learned that he had been denounced as a pirate. He left the Quedagh Merchant at the is- land of Hispaniola (where the ship was possibly scuttled..

No- ticing their Indiana University (IU) shirts, an inebriated American staggered over and asked if they were the archaeologists who stole the Captain Kidd shipwreck. The man was Oan investor in a treasure-hunting operation that had searched for months for the remains of Kidd’s ship, the Quedagh Merchant, which famously sank off the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic in 1699. But it was Beeker who had identified the wreck and won international press attention. The investor “started getting a little rowdy,” Beeker recalls. There was pushing and shov- ing, overturned tables and broken glass. “The guy had spent his savings and lost his mar- riage, and I guess he blamed me.” Such is life for Beeker, the founder and director of the Underwater Science Pro- gram at IU Bloomington. “I’ve been work- ing for years to put Beeker (left) inspects treasure hunters out the wreck of Captain of business,” he says.

A Comparative Study of the Queen Anne’s Revenge And the Quedagh Merchant Shipwrecks Oxonius, A. 2019 Ett Sjörövarliv För Mig. En Jämförande Studie Mellan Skeppsvraken Queen Anne’s Revenge Och Quedagh Merchant Dagens syn på pirater har länge blivit influerad av olika medier. Allt från böcker och filmer har kontinuerligt påverkat allmänhetens syn på en viktig del av marinhistoria och på så sätt har den perioden av historien blivit näst intill översedd av forskare. Inte förrän bara några år sedan blev arkeologin kring pirater en etablerad gren inom vetenskapen (Skowronek & Ewen 2006:1–2) och i och med det har praktiken vuxit. Men vad går det egentligen att säga är sant om piraterna? Har alla medier förmedlat en viss sanning eller är allt påhitt? Denna uppsats kommer diskutera kring fenomenet som är pirater och sjöröveri och jämföra dessa legendariska berättelser med det arkeologiska materialet som funnits som kan länkas till legenderna om de mytomspunna piraterna. Denna studie kommer utgå ifrån två framträdande skeppsvrak, Queen Anne’s Revenge och Quedagh Merchant, som hittats i det västindiska havet samt artefakterna som framkom i samband med vraken. Med utgångspunkt i detta material, ska en diskussion föras kring möjliga sanningar till legenderna samt deras skepp. The image of pirates today has long been influenced by different media.
