    R E S O U R C E L I B R A R Y A RT I C L E Pirate in the Caribbean While not as famous as other Caribbean pirates like Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, French pirate Jean Hamlin ended up eluding capture on St. Thomas with the assistance of the corrupt governor of the island. G R A D E S 6 - 12+ S U B J E C T S Geography, Human Geography, Social Studies, World History For the complete article with media resources, visit: http://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/pirate-caribbean/ By Stuart Thornton Wednesday, June 1, 2011 From the view on top of Blackbeard’s Castle, the red-tiled roofs of the city of Charlotte Amalie ring a blue-green harbor that was once a pirate refuge in the late 1600s. Charlotte Amalie is the capital of the island of St. Thomas, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands. There is no proof the infamous English pirate Blackbeard caroused Charlotte Amalie’s taverns —Blackbeard’s Castle is actually the name of a 10-meter (34-foot) tall Danish watchtower that has no apparent connection to its namesake. Captain William Kidd, a Scottish sailor famously executed for piracy, sailed into the harbor in 1699 to drop off five deserters and a sick man. Yet it’s a lesser-known French pirate, Jean Hamlin, whose presence on St. Thomas is best documented. Hamlin was a successful pirate, having raided English and other European ships off the coast of Jamaica and Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea.

  • How the Colonies Were Actually Governed
    1 THE DANISH WEST INDIES UNDER COMPANY RULE (1671-1754) INTRODUCTION: GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL If Belgium has been described, and not inaccurately, as “the cockpit of Europe,” the West Indies may be regarded as “the cockpit” of sea power. The islands and mainland of the Caribbean and Gulf regions have been among the prizes for which European states have contended in practically every war of consequence that has been fought during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Just why Spaniards, Frenchmen and Englishmen, Dutchmen and Danes, Swedes and Brandenburgers, and even Knights of Malta and Courlanders, should all at one time or another have directed their energies to West Indian commerce and commercial exploitation is a question that very few, beyond a limited number of specialists, are able intelligently to answer. The heterogeneous character of the West Indian political map of to-day has behind it an interesting story, and one thoroughly worth studying, for those who wish to grasp understandingly the reasons for European interest in America before Spain lost her various American Colonies on the mainland. So far as the immediate effects upon Europe were concerned, the beating back of the Spanish frontier in the Caribbean regions by Spain’s commercial rivals was far more important at the time than the distant frontier struggles of Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Englishmen on the mainland of America. The present study is an attempt to separate from the tangled skein of West Indian history the single small thread that concerns the early efforts of Denmark-Norway to establish itself in those distant regions.

  • The Buccaneers in the West Indies in the XVII Century
    The Buccaneers In The West Indies In The XVII Century By Clarence Henry Haring THE BUCCANEERS IN THE WEST INDIES IN THE XVII CENTURY CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY I.—THE SPANISH COLONIAL SYSTEM At the time of the discovery of America the Spaniards, as M. Leroy- Beaulieu has remarked, were perhaps less fitted than any other nation of western Europe for the task of American colonization. Whatever may have been the political rôle thrust upon them in the sixteenth century by the Hapsburg marriages, whatever certain historians may say of the grandeur and nobility of the Spanish national character, Spain was then neither rich nor populous, nor industrious. For centuries she had been called upon to wage a continuous warfare with the Moors, and during this time had not only found little leisure to cultivate the arts of peace, but had acquired a disdain for manual work which helped to mould her colonial administration and influenced all her subsequent history. And when the termination of the last of these wars left her mistress of a united Spain, and the exploitation of her own resources seemed to require all the energies she could muster, an entire new hemisphere was suddenly thrown open to her, and given into her hands by a papal decree to possess and populate. Already weakened by the exile of the most sober and industrious of her population, the Jews; drawn into a foreign policy for which she had neither the means nor the inclination; instituting at home an economic policy which was almost epileptic in its consequences, she found her strength dissipated, and gradually sank into a condition of economic and political impotence.

The absorbin g history of the Virgin Islands is told in sufficient detail to enable the reader to understand by what a devious road they came at length into the possession of the country to which W they logically belong .

It all began with a strange affection for Exquemelin’s buccaneers that I felt during a seminar in 18th Century Literature taught expertly by Dr. Keith Sandiford. He became my advisor and mentor, and I am now more in his debt than I can ever repay. To June English goes the credit for teaching me how to dream big (the way pirates did) and how to make my omelets fluffy in the meantime.
