  • Captain William Kidd
    Captain William Kidd Name: William Kidd. Born: Dundee, 1654. Occupation: Sea captain. Defending English and American trade routes First ship: Antigua. He emigrated to New York in the 1680’s. Married: Sarah Bradley Cox Oort, a wealthy widow. On 6 September 1696, Kidd and 150 crew members went to capture a pirate called Robert Culliford in the Indian Ocean. aboard the Adventure Galley. His crew took over his ship on the way. This is called mutiny. Kidd was forced to become a pirate himself. In 1698, Kidd and his crew attacked and took a ship: the cargo was silk, muslin, calico, sugar, opium, iron and salt peter and a worth rumoured to be £70,000 . The Quedah Merchant, renamed the Adventure Prize, was kept by Kidd, as he was forced to abandon and sink his now leaking ship. Being a pirate was now against the law in England and America but Kidd did not know this on his return to America in 1699. He buried the treasure on his way to Boston in Gardiner Island and Block Island. The New England governor, Lord Richard Bellomont, had him arrested on 7 July 1699 in Boston. He was sent to England in February 1700. The trial started on 8 May and was completed the next day – the verdict was that Kidd was guilty of the murder of one of his crew and guilty of multiple acts of piracy. Captain William Kidd was hanged on 23 May 1701. His corpse was left to rot at the Thames River as an example to other would-be pirates.

  • Pirate Articles and Their Society, 1660-1730
    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.

  • Introduction
    IntroduCtion Archaeology makes history tangible. Not only does archaeology mat- ter, it provides a completely different portal through which to view the past. Perhaps most importantly, archaeology can make a difference. Archaeology has numerous benefits to us as a society. Archaeological sites and artifacts can play a large role in education, community cohe- sion, national identity, economic development, sustainable tourism, conservation, and, of course, entertainment among others (Little 2002). The material culture of our shared heritage and past provides cultural continuity, perspective, and a tangible link to those who preceded us. Archaeology is not solely the excavation of a site and the recovery of its artifacts; it includes an investigation of the social activity surrounding a site and its formation, the historical context, the actions of individuals in the past as related to a site, and the management and preservation of a site for public benefit and future generations. Shipwrecks are but one type of archaeological site and they have long fascinated humankind, perhaps never more so than today. The ship- wreck Quedagh Merchant is an archaeological site that brings to life one of the most romanticized activities in modern popular culture: piracy (Skowronek and Ewen 2007). Little specific evidence of pirates and their actions exists in the archaeological record and, oftentimes, it is difficult to identify certain artifacts and features as related to piracy rather than more commonplace activities. In fact, finding a site and proving its con- nection to piracy is difficult, and, to date, the identification of some sites as being linked to piracy or specific pirates has been controversial (Lu- sardi 2007, Ewen 2007, Wilde-Ramsing and Ewen 2012).

  • Huntington Front Matter
    MARK G . HANNA Well -B ehaved Pirates seldom make history : a r eevaluation of the Golden aGe of enGlish Piracy he literature on english-speaking pirates in the early modern world tends to present piracy as a static phenomenon. modern tfilmmakers, fiction writers, and historians alike offer a monolithic image of “the pirate” that neglects the fact that the vast changes in global circumstances from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries produced many varieties of piracy. in popular culture, pirates dress a particular way, walk a particular way, and of course, talk a particular way. 1 under - graduates taking my course the Golden age of Piracy often ask me what pirates were really like, as if expecting me either to indulge in the common tropes and myths or skeptically to dissolve them. many historie s of piracy have been penned explicitly to uncover the true nature of piracy. 2 Pirate studies has moved beyond the agenda of determining the facts behind the legends to other, more politicized concerns. Were pirates proto- ca pitalists or protoproletarian radicals? Were they attempting to maxi - mize profits in a market-driven world or challenging the oppression of burgeoning capitalism? 3 Was the pirate ship the ideal home for homo - sexual men hoping to escape a sexually restrictive world on land ?4 Were the few female pirates protofeminist ?5 Were pirates race-blind challengers of a burgeoning slave trade ?6 Were they early “republicans” who voi ced “democratic sentiments that would later drive the american revolution? ”7 in sum, the prevailing paradigm in pirate historiography suggests that pirates challenged everything modern society finds repulsive about the early modern world.

  • Famous Pirates Captain Blackbeard Born: 1680 Died: 22Nd November 1718 Blackbeard’S Real Name Was Edward Teach
    Famous Pirates Captain Blackbeard Born: 1680 Died: 22nd November 1718 Blackbeard’s real name was Edward Teach. He married 14 times! It has been said that his favourite drink was rum mixed with gunpowder. Blackbeard was active in piracy for only 2 years before he was caught and killed. His head was chopped off and hung from his enemy’s ship as a trophy and warning to other pirates. Anne Bonny Born: 8th March 1698 Died: 22nd April 1782 Anne was friends with another female pirate called Mary Read. Anne was the girlfriend of pirate Calico Jack, who she eventually ran away with! She acted and dressed just like a male pirate and was excellent at fighting. Black Barty Born: 17th May 1682 Died: 10th February 1722 He was born in South Wales as John Roberts and later adopted the name ‘Bartholomew’, or ‘Black Bart’ when he became a pirate. He was known to love expensive clothes and jewellery and was always well-dressed, even in battles! He was eventually killed by the British Government and his crew were put on trial in the biggest pirate trial in history. William Kidd Born: circa 1654 Died: 23rd May 1701 Before he became a pirate, William Kidd was a wealthy and respected privateer and protected the British and American trade routes from French warships. However, he was very unlucky and was forced into piracy by his unruly ship crew whilst on duty. It was also at this time that the American people became very intolerant of all pirates, so when he was caught they had to make an example and he was hanged.

An Abstract of “The transition from Maritime Knights to Enemies of Mankind”: As seen in the stories of William Kidd and Stede Bonnet. by Ashley Riehle Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements of The Master of Arts in History The University of Toledo August 2011 This thesis will examine the way that two particular pirates were pawns in the changing political and economic world of South Carolina on the one hand and the British Empire on the other. This allows some conclusions to be drawn about the direction that the empire was taking at this time and the North American colonial participation in this transition. This shift involved legal definitions, but also involved looking at the pirates in a different way. A good example of this is the comment of Judge Nicholas Trott, who presided over the case of Stede Bonnet in South Carolina in 1718. He declared that the word pirate had once meant “a maritime knight,” but now the pirate was “a sea- rover…coasting hither and thither to do mischief.”1 The British Empire turned on those who used to be friends and the reasons for that reversal may suggest the growing power of wealth during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730).2 While the pirates were used as 1 The Tryal of Major Stede Bonnet, and Other Pirates ( London, 1719), 8-9.
