Description

The Golden Age of Piracy, encompassing kind of the primary quarter of the eighteenth century, produced probably the most most outrageous characters in maritime history. From its earliest days, Charleston was once an important port of call and center of trade, which left it liable to seafaring criminals. The daring exploits of these infamous plunderers made thievery widespread along Charleston’s waterfront, but decided citizens would meet the pirate threat head-on. From the “Gentleman Pirate,” Stede Bonnet, to Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and famed pirate hunter and statesman William Rhett, the waters surrounding the Holy City have a history as rocky and wild as the high seas. Sign up for creator and tour guide Christopher Byrd Downey as he tells the tales of Charleston throughout piracy’s greatest reign.
