THE RESURRECTED PIRATE: The Life, Death, and Subsequent Career of the Notorious George Lowther

1-250110

Details the adventures of the pirate George Lowther and how he was 'resurrected' as a Royal Navy officer, nearly 20 years after his alleged death by suicide in 1723. George Lowther was a mutineer and a pirate, one of the most prolific during the golden age of piracy. Virtually all popular sources specify Lowther's death being by suicide in 1723, while marooned on the small island of Blanquilla, off the coast of Venezuela. Through primary research material, explores how Lowther was pardoned and commissioned as a Royal Navy lieutenant in 1741 -- therefore, the date and place of his death have been reported erroneously. Contains 45 black and white photos and maps.
