Hundreds of pirates traversed the waters of the Atlantic during
America's colonial period, but few had a more adventurous tale than
Stede Bonnet. Originally a wealthy plantation owner from Barbados,
Bonnet abandoned his wife and children in 1717 to set sail on the
pirate ship Revenge. He soon fell into company with Blackbeard in
the Bahamas and headed for America. In May 1718, they arrived in
Charleston and held the entire city hostage in a daring siege.
Bonnet was eventually captured in North Carolina and transported
back to Charleston, where he was brought to justice and executed on
December 10, 1718. Join local pirate tour guide Captain Christopher
Byrd Downey as he recounts the swashbuckling life of the most
infamous pirate to ever darken the Holy City's waters.
