And of course if you want EVEN MORE #pirates, then check out Enemies of All, out now with @TheHistoryPress in the UK (buff.ly/4bQ77DG) and soon with @Pegasus_Books in the US (pegasusbooks.com/books/enemies-…) and @hollands_diep in the Netherlands (hollandsdiep.nl/boek/3076/rich…).

#OnThisDay #OTD in 1724* the General History of the Pirates was published. To mark the 300th anniversary, as I happened to be in Wales, I've come to Casnewydd Bach where famous pirate Bartholomew Roberts was born. *if you convert from modern to Julian calendar, AS YOU SHOULD

#OnThisDay in 1718, Stede Bonnet, the Gentleman Pirate, was hanged in Charleston. Bonnet was a wealthy landowner whose decision to turn to piracy is still debated. Nonetheless, he is now remembered as one of the most iconic figures of the ‘Golden Age’ of Piracy #PirateHistory
