The Friends of the Southport Maritime Museum in Southport, North Carolina, will dedicate the Stede Bonnet historical marker on September 26th. My wife and I will probably be in the area then and might just attend it. She has become quite a "Pirate" fan since the Pirates oif the Caribbean movies have been released. A reception will follow at the museum.
Stede Bonnet was nicknamed the "Gentleman Pirate. Col.William Rhett of Charleston, SC, led an expeditionthat captured Bonnet September 26, 1718 in Smithville Harbor. Bonnet was hanged in Charleston in December 1718.
Oh, the Life of a Pirate. --Old Coot
