Pirate Captain Kidd part II

captain kid part two many have dug for kids treasure at chabakui c-h-e-b-e-a-q-u-e

island at cherbaku island also costco bay maine and a nearby jewel island a mr chase who lived on jewel island supposedly found some of it using a map that captain kids black servant had drawn out and given to him block island off rhode island is also a favorite spot for the hunters of kids treasure there is a concrete evidence that kid did stop at block island as he had at gardner's island before he was confined to boston jail the list of island locations up and down the new england coast where kids supposedly buried his treasure seems endless there is even a captain kids island near turner's falls massachusetts far inland and close to the vermont border where locals swear captain kidd hit his treasure after all they would tell you how do you think the island got its name richard knight of britain england and fred graham of belmont california went looking for kids treasure off the coast of vietnam in june of 1983. nai told officials that he had a map gotten from my grandfather showing an island of vietnam where kid had his treasure the young man went to the island of pukkok ph u quoc vietnam and disappeared believed to have been taken prisoners by the vietcong captain kids treasure fever is worldwide and as obsessive to treasure hunters today as it was back in the 18th and 19th century

of course not all of the places that are being pointed out and attributed to captain kid are necessarily buried by captain kid but

it is very possible that those play those treasures were vetted by other pirates so captain kidd reports uh in one of his writing

he says i left saint thomas and set sail for muna m-o-o-n-a is an island between hispaniola and puerto rico where we met with a sloop called the saint anthony which is the same one as they call it san antonio bound for montego from curacao mr william bolton merchant and samuel ward master so it is interesting to note that william bolton was an alias the merchant owner of saint anthony was abraham redwood who lived on the island of antigua antigua and like the marlins family picked up stakes after kid was captured and moved to settle permanently in newport rhode island again one wonders in kids mysterious willings and demons if he purposely first landed at antigua to make contact with redwood alias william bolton or was it at kid as kid indicates just a fortunate chance meeting at muna island where kid persuaded bolton to rent the saint anthony to him so that he might proceed to new england kid says that i could not persuade my man to carry the accurate merchant for new england but six of them went and carried the chess and things on board two dutch sloops bound for curacao the rest of the men not being able to bring the quera merchant prize to boston i secured her in a good safe harbor in some part of hispaniola and left her in the position of mr in the possession of mr henry bolton of antigua the master uh who was the master basically of that ship three of the old men and sixteen of the men that belonged to saint anthony crew with the brigantine belonging to a man named bird of curacao bert was also a notorious caribbean pirate whose real name was burke i persuaded them to stay three months that kid till i returned and in the same entry uh made the best way to new york where i heard that earl of belmont was in boston and came to them

so there are many important events concerning captain kid and saint anthony coming up the east coast to boston which gives which kid uh purposely avoided in his testimony that were brought out by crewmen and so-called friends during his pre-trial at boston there is no doubt that kid had transferred much of the treasure from quetta merchant to saint anthony before he made his voyage up the coast but how much is in its body's guess kid however insisted that the bulk of the treasure remain in the cuellar merchant hidden in a river at saint tor domingo at santa domingon protected by some 20 men who await my return the first non-stop of the saint anthony on her way to boston was louis delaware l-e-w-e-s delaware where adventure golly crewman james gilman was put ashore with a big wooden chest so another crewman testified next captain kid anchored in oyster bay new york duncan campbell campbell the boston postmaster who also owned a bookstore in town was an old friend of kids at belmont's request he wrote out of boston with ahmed emmod and arrived at rhode island on saturday 17 june in the morning and went in a sloop with emmatt towards block island at about three weeks from that island campbell reports i met a slug commanded by captain kidd and having on board about 16 men so right here you have documented captain kit was at block island

next uh he went to gardner's island kid anchored off gardner's island for almost a full week john gardner owner of the island also joined captain kid offshore and treasure chests were taken from kid's vessel to these smaller sloops several chests and parks were put out of kit soup at gardner island crewman ed davis reported to the governor on july 8th at kids pre-trial we believed kids goods were taken off by carsten lor lorsten and hendrik vanderhead near gardner's island members of the new york governor's council informed belmont a major select of stamford connecticut who has a warehouse close to the sound belmont was informed received at least ten thousand pounds worth of treasure brought by one captain thomas clark from kids sloop enlarged with select the governor was also told that all seamen captain knot of boston delivered treasure to kid's old mate captain thomas paine now living in canonical island county jamestown well it's jamestown known as jamestown at rhode island and we know this bit of intelligence was true for the treasure was discovered under his house as we have just mentioned in 1891 thomas way of boston in his loop met kid at natake schwalls on june 30th after leaving gardner's island ed davis told the governor and kid gave him bars of gold davis also testified on july 8 that two guns and other east india goods were left at block island

so captain kitt was arrested he was placed under the house arrest for a day then moved to the solitary confinement in the boston goal belmont then had kids vessel searched but no treasure on the cloth and other merchandise was found at duncan campbell's house where mrs kidd and the children were staying belmont's men uncovered six quart bags of gold and one containing silver plus other loose money and in captain kids bugs they found one quart bag of gold dust and ingots 53 silver bars and quarterback filled and quart bag filled with 442 ounces of silver pieces there were also four diamonds set in gold one diamond loose one large diamond gold ring emerald silver box 67 rupees and so on
