JC Lynn’s Reviews > The Republic Of Pirates: A Captivating Historical Biography of the Caribbean's Infamous Buccaneers > Status Update

So Queen Anne’s revenge may have been a Jacobite stick poked at king George. Bit confusing that Bonnet was also sailing the revenge right next to them. Full pardons for everyone means the crown feared them.

Blackbeard doesn’t want pirates hanging in Boston. And now Steve bonnet is building his own pirate ship to run away. Blackbeards just taking what he wants and dumping the rest in the ocean. Terrorizing the coast.

Crazy that Paulsgrave Williams was the one to survive the storm. They lost all the whydah loot though. And the wrecked pirates go to the gallows.

So we blame dr Hans Sloane, who kept Queen Anne alive, for the British museum. Now woodes is set on the Bahamas.

It sounds like losing the French frigate was the first loss for Bellamy. And now with John King, we’ve got kids wanting to run away to be a pirate. Governor Hamilton in Jamaica and governor Hamilton of Antigua, no relation. New black sam has his Whydah.

Hornigold and crew to the treasure first. Can’t get away from the slavery of it all, Woodes Rodgers. In all the talk of their takes on prize, I appreciate the perspective of what a merchant captains annual salary was. So Bellamy and Williams pirated Jennings and vane, while they were trying to chase down hornigold and thatch.

The treasure fleet was know as The Queens Dowry. Going to belong to Queen Elizabeth of Parma marrying king Phillip V of Spain.

Spains guardas costas just can’t let things go. The sea witch of billingsgate, so sad. Paul’s grave Williams and Robert Guthrie. Washington was messy. Now we’re connecting to the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland because of George I. The entire Spanish treasure fleet crashed in the Bahamas. There’s so much money out there.

Tierra Firma fleet from Cadiz to Colombia for silver. New Spain fleet to Veracruz for gold and silver. Manila galleons from Mexico to the Philippines for Asian riches. That cargo traveled over land to the new Spain fleet. So wooded Rodgers’ crew is the one who saved the Robinson Caruso’s guy. War of Spanish succession ends in 1712. Privateers out. Pirates in.

War of Spanish succession really about the territories owned by countries not who sits on the throne. It was Philip V after giving up claim on French throne. Love the runaway slaves being protected by granny nanny warrior witch. The Caribbean climate was eating away at those ships and theyd have to go all the way to New England to be fixed.
