Captain Kidd

Captain Kidd, a ruthless hardcore pirate who commanded one of the most well-known pirate ships, was a privateer tasked with ridding New York and the West Indies of pirates. However, a shift in the situation put him in danger of a mutiny by his crew. Due to a lack of other options, he committed the first brutal act of his career as a pirate by killing someone, and he never looked back. His most audacious deed was to plunder the Indian Malabar Coast and a treasure ship that was nearly twice the size of his own.

An English captain was in charge of a French ship that Kidd had taken as a prize. The political atmosphere in England turned against him in this case despite the fact that the Crown had appointed him as a privateer for this trip. Some contemporary historians, like Sir Cornelius Neale Dalton, claimed that his image as a pirate was unfair and that he was actually operating as a privateer. Kidd's version of his conduct was backed by records discovered in London court papers from the early 20th century.

He was the target of the first live hunt that was recorded in the Atlantic region. He begged for pardon, but his luck had run out. He sailed to Boston, where he was detained by Sir Richard Bellomony, the governor of New England, and sent back to England in 1700. His execution date was May 23, 1701. He was hanged twice, which made his death terrible. He had to be hanged twice since the first rope snapped mid-hang.
