Weyland’s Whey July 13th “Sounds Like Salem” Part Two Column<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Tact is after all a kind of mind reading.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>–Sarah Orne Jewett<\/p>\n

Sounds Like Salem, Part Two: Here There Be Pirates”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salem is most famous for witches, real and imagined, past and present, sure.\u00a0 But there were pirates here too.\u00a0 Lots of ’em.\u00a0 And plenty roamed the North Shore during the Golden Age of Pirates (1650s to the 1730s).<\/p>\n

Guys like Black Sam Bellamy, who captured over fifty ships in the course of his career, including famous slave ship\u00a0Whydah Galla<\/em>.\u00a0 Black Sam was one of the youngest and richest pirates ever, nicknamed the “Prince of Pirates”.\u00a0 He and his crew perished in a nor’easter off the Coast of Cape Cod in 1717.\u00a0 Local legends say that Black Sam’s ex-girlfriend Maria Hallett turned to witchcraft after their breakup and conjured up the fatal storm.\u00a0\u00a0Her<\/em> nickname was “the Witch of Wellfleet”, for obvious reasons. (This<\/em> is why I don’t teach Sparkle any spell work.\u00a0 Prudence pays!)<\/p>\n
