Footnotes to History
Captain Kidd Was Not a Pirate
Occasionally a man will be born into an age that has a task waiting for him, and the combination will make history. Usually it is the genesis of fame for the human factor in the equation. In one instance, however, these factors were com- bined to bring a universal notoriety to a man undeserving of it. This unfortunate victim of Dame Caprice was Captain William Kidd.
Kidd resided (about 1691), a prosperous and respected family man, in New York City. Bom probably in Scotland, he had made his reputation as a sea-fighter against the French; then he married and settled in the New World.
At about this time it was decided by the Royal Govern- ment that piracy was becoming an anachronism in British civilisation. Kidd, then in London on business, was pre- valled upon as a former privateer and habitue of pirate waters, to help eradicate the nuisance. He was given a valid Letter of Marque by Lord Somers, the then Lord Chancellor, and sent on his mission of extermination with full legal powers. This, of course, gave him the right to seize any ship navigating under the colours of enemies to the Crown-- including France, at that time.
Kidd therefore proceeded according to the terms of this elastic commission, and took as prizes several native trading Com- Vessels, sailing under French passes, off Madagascar. plaints reached England from the English East India Com- pany, and Kidd was recalled.
To justify his seizures, the mariner had merely to show the confiscated French passes. But unfortunately he had entrusted them to Lord Bellomont, then Governor of Massa→ chusetts Colony. They were sent to England; but during Kidd's trial, they mysteriously vanished. Not possessing the proof of his innocence, he was promptly convicted and sent to the scaffold.
Thus, through the manoeuvrings of combined political and economic greed, the name of Captain Kidd comes down to us as a synonym for the most odious deeds of violence on the high seas.......
