History To-Go: Pirates

Stede Bonnet, also known as the “Gentleman Pirate,” was an unlikely buccaneer. He was well educated and involved in high society until one day, without warning, he started a new life as a pirate. He bought a ship that he named the Revenge and set sail. Before long he met up with Blackbeard, and the two sailed together for about a year around the waters of North Carolina. In 1718 Blackbeard was killed in a hand-to-hand battle and Stede Bonnet was convicted of piracy and hanged, ending the golden age of piracy forever.
