History's Pirates

Ah me harteys the Golden Age of Piracy had its run for thirty years from 1690 to 1720 and Nassau was the Pirate Capital. It all began when privateer Henry Every brought his ship called Fancy ladened with plundered loot plucked from Indian Empire trade ships and sailed into Nassau harbour. Every bribed the Governor of The Bahamas Nicholas Trott with gold, silver and with the Fancy including the ships contents which was still loaded with 50 tons of elephant tusks and 100 barrels of gunpowder, and the birth of Nassau the Pirate Capital was born. Some of the Pirates who traded and defended Nassau where Benjamin Hornigold, Edward Teach better known as "Blackbeard", Charles Vane, "Calico" Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny.

The Pirate book

Treasure Island written by Robert Louis Stevenson was inspired by the real events of the Hirtorical Pirates nearly all of the characters in the book were fictisious like captian Flint, Billy Bones and John Silver, though there was mention of blackbeard in the book too.
