The Notorious Captain Kidd.
Captain Kidd was a notorious pirate of the late 17th and early 18th century, known for his exploits in the Caribbean Sea and off the coast of North America. Kidd initially sailed under the authority of British nobles, but turned to piracy after a series of disputes. He gained notoriety for his raids on French and British ships, and was rumored to have hidden treasure worth millions of dollars. However, he was eventually captured by the British and executed for piracy, becoming a symbol of the dangers and risks of life at sea during the Golden Age of Pirates.
