RE: The Tales of Pirates - “Gentleman Pirate” Stede Bonnet

in #history6 years ago

Well, didnt know a pirate can be "Gentleman" ..! 😄

jokes apart, Bonnet seems to be a smart pirate..! Choosing this profession kind of willingly, he made his way to some sort of success in his pirate career..!

Bonnet wrote a letter to Governor Johnson, begging for pardon and promising to cut his own arms and legs as assurance that he would not engage in piracy anymore.

This en-quoted incident reminds me of how much we care about living this planet..! Unfortunately, it's not a better place for everyone..! 🙃

Sort:  

I find him one of the dumbest of pirates, but at the same time the one of those who wanted to be a pirate more than any other. In a way he was a dreamer turning his dream to reality.

kind of so...! someone who was passionate about his pirating job..! lol..!
