“Stede Bonnet" Short Sleeve T-Shirt

The richest man on the ship he didn't know how to sail. Stede Bonnet was born in 1688 in Barbados. He inherited a 400-acre sugar plantation, married well, had four children, and owned ninety-four enslaved people. Then, in 1717, at twenty-nine, he bought himself a sloop, hired a crew at wages, and ran off to be a pirate. He was spectacularly bad at it. Blackbeard took his ship away from him. He was captured, escaped jail in Charleston, was recaptured, wrote a letter begging for clemency, and was hanged on December 10, 1718. Whatever he was looking for when he walked off that plantation, he didn't find it. But he walked, which is more than most do.
