A proposito di questo titolo

In the summer of 1715 a hurricane destroyed the Spanish treasure fleet off the coast of Florida, scattering silver and opportunity across the Bahamas. Within months unemployed privateers and desperate sailors gathered at Nassau, turning New Providence into the nearest thing the Atlantic had to a pirate republic. This long-form documentary follows the rise of the Flying Gang, the careers of Samuel Bellamy and Blackbeard, the blockade of Charleston, the arrival of Woodes Rogers with the King’s pardon, the deaths at Ocracoke and the trials of Anne Bonny and Mary Read, and the 1724 book that transformed real outlaws into enduring legend. A calm, deeply researched history of how a brief window of lawlessness opened on the sea—and was closed.
