The Pirates Wife The Remarkable True Story of Sarah Kidd

This is the dramatic and swashbuckling story of Sarah Kidd, the wife of the famous pirate Captain Kidd. Author Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos will discuss Sarah Kidd’s transformation from New York socialite to international outlaw during the Golden Age of Piracy. Captain Kidd was one of the most notorious pirates to ever prowl the seas, yet few know that his wife, Sarah Kidd, was his accomplice, operating within the structures of polite society in 17th and 18th-century New York. Using primary-source documents from archives from London, New York and Boston, the author reconstructs the extraordinary life of Sarah Kidd, uncovering a rare example of the kind of life that pirate wives lived during Colonial times.
