About This Book

This work surveys a century of piracy along the New England coastline, assembling court records, newspapers, eyewitness narratives, and contemporary histories to profile raids, captures, trials, and escapes. It combines narrative episodes of individual pirate ventures with analysis of pirate cruising grounds, shipboard life, and legal responses by colonial authorities. Chapters compile personal accounts, trial proceedings, and illustrative maps and engravings, while appendices reproduce commissions, dying speeches, and other primary documents to illuminate how maritime crime affected coastal communities and commerce.
