  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

Emmanuel Heath, a local reverend, described the event, “I found the ground rowling [growling] and moving under my feet... we heard the Church and Tower fall... and made toward Morgan’s Fort, which being a wide open place, I thought to be there securest from the falling houses; But as I made toward it, I saw the Earth open and swallow up a multitude of people, and the sea 1 mounting in upon us over the fortifications.” This historic natural disaster caused two-thirds of the city to be swallowed into the Caribbean Sea, killing an estimated 2,000 people at the time of the earthquake, and another 2,000 from injury, disease, and extreme lawlessness in the days following.

  • The Epic Saga of Commodore David Porter
    None So Daring copyright 2007 The Epic Saga of Commodore David Porter by Robert Porter Lynch CONTENTS SYNOPSIS 2 THEMES 3 APPEAL 3 BOOKS & MOVIES 3 STORY BOARD 4 Page 1 None So Daring copyright 2005 By Robert Porter Lynch Contact Information: Email: [email protected] Cell Phone: 401-640-1166 SYNOPSIS None So Daring is the epic saga of one of America’s most dashing heroes. Set between 1790 and 1830, it is the true story of the swashbuckling, visionary, powerful and often volatile Commodore David Porter. Each episode is based on historical evidence. Virtually forgotten to history, this story resurrects, with carefully researched accuracy, the remarkable and fascinating story of a man whose dramatic storybook career is virtually unparalleled in U.S. history for excitement, adventure, romance, and intrigue. Dashing, bold in every stroke, visionary, but hot-headed and impetuous, Commodore Porter’s naval adventures included fighting Arab terrorists in the Mediterranean and clashing with Caribbean pirates like Jean Laffite. Later, his escapades in the War of 1812 in the Pacific struck into the heart of the British Admiralty, triggering their wrath. During this Pacific odyssey, the touching adventures on the voyage of his young adopted son, David Glasgow Farragut, whose will lift the hearts of young and old alike. Porter’s role in bottling up the British fleet after their attack on Washington probably turned the tide of the War of 1812, preserving this nation’s liberty. His passionate and tempestuous love affair with Evalina, a Congressman’s daughter, brought him love, obsession, betrayal, and tragedy. Evalina was a real life Scarlett O’Hara.

  • Life Under the Jolly Roger: Reflections on Golden Age Piracy
    praise for life under the jolly roger In the golden age of piracy thousands plied the seas in egalitarian and com- munal alternatives to the piratical age of gold. The last gasps of the hundreds who were hanged and the blood-curdling cries of the thousands traded as slaves inflated the speculative financial bubbles of empire putting an end to these Robin Hood’s of the deep seas. In addition to history Gabriel Kuhn’s radical piratology brings philosophy, ethnography, and cultural studies to the stark question of the time: which were the criminals—bankers and brokers or sailors and slaves? By so doing he supplies us with another case where the history isn’t dead, it’s not even past! Onwards to health-care by eye-patch, peg-leg, and hook! Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra This vital book provides a crucial and hardheaded look at the history and mythology of pirates, neither the demonization of pirates as bloodthirsty thieves, nor their romanticization as radical communitarians, but rather a radical revisioning of who they were, and most importantly, what their stories mean for radical movements today. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame Stripping the veneers of reactionary denigration and revolutionary romanti- cism alike from the realities of “golden age” piracy, Gabriel Kuhn reveals the sociopolitical potentials bound up in the pirates’ legacy better than anyone who has dealt with the topic to date. Life Under the Jolly Roger is important reading for anyone already fascinated by the phenomena of pirates and piracy.

  • Constructing the Identity of the Popular Pirate the Outlaw, Marginal Identities, and Utopia in Black Sails (2014-2017) and Assassin’S Creed IV: Black Flag (2013)
    Constructing the Identity of the Popular Pirate The Outlaw, Marginal Identities, and Utopia in Black Sails (2014-2017) and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) Susanne J. Dirksen Student number: 3997448 MA Thesis, Cultural History of Modern Europe Utrecht University Supervisor: dr. Jeroen Koch Date of submission: August 5, 2019 Word count: 16.533 Abstract This thesis investigates how the Golden Age of piracy and the identity of pirates is reconstructed in the recent popular television series Black Sails, and the videogame Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. By building upon recent literature on the connection between pirates in popular culture and history, it asks: How is the identity of the popular pirate constructed in the recent television series Black Sails (2014-2017) and the videogame Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (2013)? In order to answer this question, this thesis is divided into three chapters which elaborate on the following three themes: outlaw identity, gender and ethnicity, and utopia. Each theme will be discussed in relation to pirates in popular representations by providing a discussion of (recent) literature, and a subsequent application of the discussed ideas on both Black Sails and Assassin’s Creed IV by elaborating on a few key moments. Discussing the way pirates are represented in popular media grants insights into the way the past is invented on screen, how pirates are idealized, and how videogame- and filmmakers alike create and maintain a sense of believability in stories which mix (historical) fact with fiction. As the appeal of the outlaw and the pirate outlaw is widespread, they have been interpreted in countless (fictional) stories, and this, in turn, has created a persistent image of a mythical pirate, which is even further articulated because of the fact that so little is known about the historical pirates of the Golden Age.
