William Kidd William Kidd, also "Captain William Kidd" or simply "Captain Kidd" (c.1654 – 23 May 1701) was a Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean. Some modern historians deem his piratical reputation unjust.
Anne Bonny Anne Bonny (March 8, 1702 – unknown, possibly April 1782) was an Irish pirate operating in the Caribbean, and one of several noted women in piracy. The little that is known of her life comes largely from Captain Charles Johnson's "A General History of the Pyrates".
