Mary’s Island, who had stolen the Blessed William from him years before. When Captain Kidd reached Madagascar, he once again encountered Robert Culliford at St. But when word reached England of the capture, he was publicly denounced as a pirate. Kidd gave in, hoping that the ship’s French passes would make it a legal capture under his commission. Kidd wanted to let the ship go, but his angry crew insisted on keeping their prize and its plunder. While the ship was flying French colors, it turned out it was captained by an Englishman and merely operating under a right of safe passage from the French. He eventually captured the Quedagh Merchant, an Armenian vessel carrying a wealth of cloth, gold, silver, and spices. Soon, Kidd had to bend to his crew’s pressure to avoid a revolt, and he made several attacks on neutral shipping.

One of these disagreements devolved into violence, with Kidd murdering a gunner by throwing a bucket at his head.

His mission was to sail around Africa to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, where he was to hunt down pirates that were harassing East India Company ships, and attack French shipping. In 1695, Captain Kidd sailed the Adventure Galley down the Thames River out of London. Later, Kidd became a respected citizen and ship owner of New York City, from which he sometimes sailed to fight off enemy privateers. In 1690, his ship was stolen by Robert Culliford, a mutineer who later turned pirate.
From here, he operated as an English privateer, defending the colony from French attacks. He sailed the ship, now renamed the Blessed William, to the English island of Nevis. When war broke out between the two nations in 1689, the Englishmen led a mutiny, and made William Kidd the captain. Kidd’s early career saw him serving as part of a joint English-French crew aboard the Sainte Rose, a French privateering vessel in the Caribbean. Captain Kidd’s tale serves as a warning of how easily one could cross the thin line between privateering and piracy.
