Pirates
During the Richmond Lending Library talk I
asked Justin Somper about Bartholomew (Bart) Pearce
and apparently he is based on Bartholomew (Bart)
Roberts was a Welsh pirate who raided shipping off
the Americas and West Africa. He was the most
successful pirate of the golden age of piracy,
capturing far more ships than some of the best-known
pirates of this era.
