Tough break, bb!!!
Word of William Kidd’s piracy has travelled back to the people who funded his most recent expedition. In an effort to appear from looking guilty of piracy themselves, they have turned in Kidd for his illegal actions. He was found guilty of murder and piracy and has been executed by hanging.
The people with all the money ALWAYS get off the hook.
RIP.
Wasn’t he supposed to capture pirates??? NOT become one!!!
As we reported earlier, Captain Kidd was hired to attack pirate and enemy French ships and steal their money. Sadly for Kidd, he hasn’t been able to find any of these ships and is basically sinking all of his investors’ money. Afraid of failure, Kidd has allegedly resorted to attacking ships that weren’t even part of the deal. Rumors have circulated that he’s now one with the pirates.
What gives, bb?? We know failing can be scary but nobody’s perfect!!
Piracy is NEVER the answer.
Isn’t his crew made of criminals??? We thought that HE’D be the one getting murdered!!!
Captain William Kidd has allegedly killed one of his own crew members. The victim supposedly urged Kidd to attack a Dutch ship close by. Kidd refused because he’s not a pirate and he’s made of Dutch blood.
Kidd called the guy a lousy dog, to which he retorted:
“If I am a lousy dog, you have made me so; you have brought me to ruin and many more.”
GASP. O no he din’t!!!!!! But he did. So Kidd swung an ironbound bucket at him and fractured his skull.
Tsk tsk, Kidd!! You should know better than to murder your crew!
To catch a pirate, you have to think like a pirate! Ha!
Before embarking on his mission to kick pirate booty, most of Kidd’s crew had to unexpectedly report for Navy duty. Not having a big enough crew to set sail, Kidd was forced to hire those in the area who were available, which consisted mostly of former pirates and criminals.
Something tells us that being stranded in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of crazy people is NOT a good idea!!!
He can tell us to walk the plank any day of the week!!
Seksi Captain William Kidd has been hired by NY governor Richard Coote to attack and capture pirates and French enemy ships. Even though William has asked to sail under the full protection of the King and with a fully trained crew, Coote rejected the idea. Instead, he has promised Kidd pirate riches if the expedition goes as planned. If it doesn’t, Kidd will have to pay back Coote and his investors the cost of the expedition.
The whole thing DOES sound a little sketchy to us, but that’s what makes it even hawter!!
Go get ‘em, Kidd!
Arrrrrr you serious?!? LOLz.
King William III has replaced corrupt New York governor Benjamin Fletcher, who was until recently also the governor of Pennsylvania. It was discovered that Fletcher was accepting bribes of $100 to allow illegal trading of pirate treasure. He has been replaced by Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont.
Well, if there’s one group of people you want on your side - it’s the pirates!!!
Just sayin’!
We have always been ready to fight off witches, but pirates…?!? We are SO not prepared for them!!
There has been a lot of bad blood between the Spanish and the English. Recently, Spanish forces attacked the English settlement of New Providence in the Bahamas. In retaliation, angry English pirates sailed to America’s oldest European settlement, St. Augustine in Florida, and kicked some serious butt. Sixty people have died from the attacks at St. Augustine.
Ugghhh, we don’t even know how to kill a pirate! Do you stab them in the heart with a stake?!?!
Life is just so hard in the New World.
