Black Falcon 20" - Captain Kidd History

The Black Falcon was a two masted 18th century brigantine, commanded by famed pirate Captain William Kidd. It was on this ship that Captain Kidd, 1645-1701, committed larceny on the high seas. In January of 1698 Kidd and his crew were able to capture the 400 ton treasure ship, the Quedagh Merchant. Kidd took the stolen treasure and it has been rumored he buried it on Gardner's Island, New York off the east end of Long Island. Kidd having stolen the treasure from his crew was soon turned in by one of them. On May 23, 1701 Captain William Kidd was sentenced to be hung in England. This would end the life of one of the most notorious Pirates ever to sail the high seas.
