      No, that might be Major Stede Bonnet. He was a rich wannabe who commissioned a ship from a ship-builder (most pirates did not buy their ships but acquired them in other ways) and hired a crew who knew how to sail in 1717. He was very successful for a brief time. He was hanged in 1718.

    As a hearing impaired person, I use subtitles and they are golden. The addition of “glug, glug” when Max was tasting the rum in this episode was a hoot. In other episodes the added “sound effects” in writing cracked me up also. Not sure if the subtitles are created by the channel itself or transcribed by somebody else, but whoever it is, well done and thanks for the chuckles.

    Quick note; if you DO wish to use ice in this drink, or any drink using eggs, shake without ice first. This is called the dry shake and it allows the proteins in the egg to form a rich foam (which is what you're looking for if you use eggs anyway as the introduction of egg adds a negligible flavor). If you add ice first the egg wont emulsify and you wont get a foam, or you'll get very little. Adding ice AFTER emulsifying, however, won't break the foam. If you choose to do that, though, consider omitting the water from this recipe as part of shaking with ice IS about adding (cold) water.

    The trick of using another country's flag is where the terms "true colors" and "false flag" come from. The rules of war allowed ships to fly false flags, but they were required to switch to their "true colors" before opening fire. An excellent example of this is the final battle scene in "Master and Commander".

    Here's the lyrics for Captain Kidd.
    O, my name was Captain Kidd
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    O, my name was Captain Kidd
    As I sailed
    My name was Captain Kidd
    And God's laws I did forbid
    And so wickedly I did
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    So wickedly I did
    As I sailed
    O, I murdered William Moore
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    O, I murdered William Moore
    As I sailed
    I laid him in his gore
    Not many leagues from the shore
    O, I murdered William Moore
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    I murdered William Moore
    As I sailed
    I spied three ships from Spain
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    O, I spied three ships from Spain
    As I sailed
    I spied three ships from Spain
    And I fired on them a-main
    And most of them I slain
    As I sailed, as I sailed
    And most of them I slain
    As I sailed
    Come all you young and old
    See me die, see me die
    Come all you young and old
    See me die
    You are welcome to my goal
    And by it I lost my soul
    Come all you young and old
    I must die, I must die
    Come all you young and old
    I must die

    Three of strong (rum),
    And four of weak (water).

      I don't think it was just bad luck I believe he was probably a pretty incompetent captain as how his crew kept abandoning him and the story of the one he killed they obviously didn't respect him or trust him as a captain.

    In case anyone is interested Captain Kidds fabled treasure location said to be on the east coast of the americans is "according to a treasure map" on Sullivans island near to Charleston, South Carolina. Find the tallest rock vantage point and peer out from the narrow ledge upon its face and find the tallest tree in a grove of trees, buried there under is the treasure of Captain Kidd.
