“My name is Captain Kidd, who has sailed, who has sailed,
My name is Captain Kidd, who has sailed.
My name is Captain Kidd;
What the laws did still forbid
Unluckily I did while I sailed, while I sailed.” - A verse from Captain Kidd’s Farewell to the Seas
The people who have lived outside the boundaries of normal societies and refused to play by the rules have long fascinated the world, and nowhere is this more evident than the continuing interest in the pirates of centuries past. As the subjects of books, movies, and even theme park rides, people continue to let their imaginations go when it comes to pirates, with buried treasure, parrots, and walking the plank all ingrained in pop culture’s perception of them. Charles River Editors’ Legendary Pirates series covers the lives, piracy, legends, myths, and legacies of history’s most famous pirates.
