Did you know that Barbados was once on the brink of becoming the pirate capital of the Caribbean? During the Golden Age of Piracy, the island's strategic location and bustling ports made it an enticing prospect for pirates looking to establish a new headquarters. Among those who left their mark on
Barbados were two notorious figures: Sam Lord and Stede Bonnet. Infamous for his cunning tactics, Sam Lord lured ships onto the reefs near his estate, plundering their cargo and earning a fearsome reputation. Stede Bonnet, known as the "Gentleman Pirate," abandoned his comfortable life as a plantation owner to take up a life of crime on the high seas, forming alliances with legends like Blackbeard.
Their stories are just a glimpse into the turbulent history of Barbados, where piracy once threatened to dominate the island. Dive deeper into these tales in Chapter 28 of Rogues In Paradise—a vivid account of the island's rogue history.
