on october 10 what came to be called the great storm of 1780 hit the island of barbados. following day virtually every house including those built of stone had been leveled to the ground and 6000 inhabitants were dead. many of the cannons at fort james, which the young george washington had visited almost 30 years earlier, were hurled more than 100 feet in the air. the extraordinary surge of water and wind carried a ship so far onto sure that it landed on top of the island's hospital. the hurricane whipped rain, stripped the trees of bark indicating the wind and barbados must've exceeded 200 miles an hour. a similar scene of destruction occurred at st. lucia, st. vincent, and martinique, where convoy carrying several thousand french troops was blown out to sea. one estimate puts the total death count of the great storm of 1780 at 22,000. making it the deadliest hurricane in recorded history. then on october 18 two days after a spanish fleet of 74 ships bearing 4000 soldiers under the command of general don bernardo do galvez departed from havana to attack pensacola. the t

it's also a wealthy plantation owner from barbados, that decided to give up his comfortable life and become a pirate. or the gentleman pirate as is often called pete even built his own pirate ship and had the captain cabin lined with shelves so he could bring along books from his own personal library. it is not clear why he took the dramatic action of becoming a pirate. some speculated that the sudden change in behavior was due to depression or even insanity. while others have traced the origins to some diff comforts he found in married life. on his own, bonnett had some success along with many failures. he was finally captured in late september 1718 colonel william came upon bonnett and his men in north carolina. after a blistering battle which left nearly 20 men dead, bonnett surrendered. it was a sensational affair. not only did bonnett and one of his men escape, also some of the supporters threatened to burn down the town if he was not set free. nevertheless, the trials ensued and they were found guilty and hanged in front of a large crowd. this is when also sam bellamy captured

years and there's a story around the das office that was because the problem was she sent him to barbados six months before she was hired by luciano, so that can't possibly be the reason. my father used to say she thought she wanted to get out underfoot. she immediately sent off to press school as soon as he got back. nevertheless, used to talk about her a great deal mainly with enormous respect. i'm not going to say with affection, but with respect and he learned a lot from her. he used to say that his happiest moment was this moment in the mid-late 1920s when he was a little kid in his early 30s. his mother got very sick and she had some surgery and so she went to florida to recuperate with one of her mother's best friends where he spent some month and he went down with her on the train and later in his life my father with a bad train ride with his mother when i think he was six or seven years old was the happiest time they ever had because he wasn't paying attention to him and had not experienced that he remembered at least. so he really loved our time together. he had enormous risk th

there were very few well-financed pirate send for steve bonnet the plantation owner from barbados, he built his sloop and hired men. >>> instead of promising them cut in the profits in the future, he paid them a salary. but he was unique in pirate history. most pirates were relatively poor, one pirate, richard worldy, started out from new york with two or three other guys in a rowboats and took over a slightly chargerly and larger slip until he was cornered by a carolinaan naval man that killed him and his men. so start small and have dreams of one day having a whole fleet of ships under your control such as what black beard had. any other questions? okay. thank you very much.
