Benjamin Hornigold

Captain Benjamin Hornigold was a British pirate active in the Caribbean and North Atlantic from 1716 to 1717. Hornigold’s greatest claim to fame (or infamy) is that he taught the pirating ropes to Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard (d. 1718). Giving up his pirate activities in exchange for an official pardon, Hornigold was enlisted by the governor of the Bahamas to chase down other pirates, which he did with success. Captain Hornigold died on a desert island after being shipwrecked in 1719.

“Come all you young sailors and listen to me, and I’ll tell you a tale of the fish in the sea!” Had so much fun cosplaying as Benjamin Hornigold from AC4: Black Flag. Really need to finish all the detailing on the coat at some point and do this cosplay again. Pictures taken by @tumbleweedcosplay also pictured are @rashwaistcoats_cosplay as Edward Kenway and @leoniloma as James Kidd. #ac4blackflag #blackflag #assassinscreed #acblackflag #benjaminhornigold #edwardkenway #jameskidd #cosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsNIOqjH79/?igshid=wl3c9wsgcppe

Benjamin Hornigold

Le capitaine Benjamin Hornigold était un pirate britannique actif dans les Caraïbes et l'Atlantique Nord entre 1716 et 1717. Son plus grand titre de gloire (ou d'infamie) est d'avoir enseigné les ficelles de la piraterie à Edward Teach, alias Barbe Noire (mort en 1718). Renonçant à ses activités de piraterie en échange d'une grâce officielle, Hornigold fut engagé par le gouverneur des Bahamas pour pourchasser d'autres pirates, ce qu'il fit avec succès. Le capitaine Hornigold mourut sur une île déserte après avoir fait naufrage en 1719.

Picked this up while in Kmart today. Time life issue of "The Golden Age of Pirates" First heard some of these names while playing Assassin's Creed: Black Flag.
