RE: The Tales of Pirates - Henry Avery “The King of Pirates”

in #history7 years ago

Another fascinating pirate post. I've read a bit about the pirates who "traded" in the Bahamas, as my father's side of the family is from there. However I've never heard of Henry Avery. The history of Britain and the Bahamas, its former colony, is a very colourful one.

Sort:  

The Bahamas were very popular pirating site. It was a place with lots of traffic and weak defenses at the time, a pirate utopia of sorts! 🏴‍☠️Avery wasn't really active there so it is no wonder you haven't heard about him while reading about the Bahamas. The Bahamas were more often frequented by "Blackbeard", Rackham, Hornigold and few others.

Thanks for reading and commenting! :D
