Fun Information: William Kidd was a very unfortunate Scottish privateer turned pirate, and many historians do not even consider him as a pirate. William Kidd was very successful in his earlier years, catching the attention of the king of England. In England, Kidd was given two commissions: one gave him authority to capture French ships, for they were at war, and the other made him the government’s pirate hunter. Kidd ran into trouble as soon as he set out for sea. Kidd was forced to give up most of his crew for a navy ship which were in need of sailors. With most of his crew gone Kidd headed to New York in search of new crew members. There he was able to recruited new members. Unfortunately, they were mostly smugglers and former pirates who had different intentions. Kidd refused to attack any ships other than the French or pirates, which caused great dismay with the new crew; Kidd’s life in the seas became disastrous. He attempted to capture a few French vessels but failed. He also fled from potential victims that seemed well armed. These acts caused further dismay among the crew, and when Kidd landed on Laccadive Islands to repair the ship, some of the crew left him. The crew members further pressured the evasive Kidd to attack ships, but Kidd refused, even killing one of his own crew members in a heated argument. Being pressured by the crew for two years, Kidd finally gave in and committed his first and only act of piracy; Kidd attacked a ship owned by the British East India Company. He figured soon that this was a grave mistake because the East India Company forced the government to brand Kidd as a pirate. He lost all his supporters as a privateer, and now was all alone with his crew. Kidd headed for New York to hide behind some powerful friends, but instead they turned him in to save their own necks. Kidd was arrested in July 6, 1699, and was hanged on May 23, 1701. This unfortunate pirate was even unlucky on his execution, the rope broke twice before finally killing him the third time.
