Produktinformationen zu „Pirates of Colonial Newport (ePub)“
The stories behind the legends are revealed in this history of Colonial-era piracy and the double lives of those who sailed under the black flag.
The story of Newport, Rhode Island's pirates began with war, ended with revolution, and inspired swashbuckling legends for generations to come. From 1690 to the American Revolution, many of Newport's fathers, husbands, and sons sailed under the black flag. They sailed into foreign waters, t return home from plundering the high seas to attend church and even serve in public offices.
The citizens of Newport initially welcomed pirates with their exotic goods and gold to spend. But the community changed its tune when Newport's prosperous shipping fleet became a target of piracy in the early eighteenth century. The locals who had once offered safe haven were suddenly happy to cooperate with London's hunt for pirates.
In this authoritative history, author Gloria Merchant covers well-known pirates like Thomas Tew as well as surprising ones such as Thomas Pain. Merchant also explores pirate lore from Captain Kidd's buried treasure to the largest mass hanging of pirates in the colonies at Gravelly Point.
