	NJHM - Captain Kidd on the Raritan Bay
		Captain Kidd was a resident of New York City when he traveled to England in 1695 in search of a commission in the Royal Navy.
		It was during this revolt Kidd killed a gunner, William Moore, with a blow to the head, using a bucket as a weapon.
		Kidd left it there in the care of John Gardiner, who cooperated with British authorities in retrieving it (Amazingly, Gardiners Island is still privately owned by the Gardiner family after 400 years.).

	Kidds Island
		Before 1689, Kidd was a member of various buccaneer crews and eventually captained a privateer ship that was commissioned to protect the English colonies in the Caribbean against French attacks.
		Captain Kidd knew that his voyage could not continue if this happened so in the still of a windless night, he had his ship rowed away from the squadron.
		Kidd successfully made his way to Block Island where he began negotiations through his contacts in New York to gain a pardon for his actions, claiming he was forced by his crew.

	Captain William Kidd
		Kidd was optimistic about being granted a Letter of Marque (an official contract from the King allowing a captain to legally engage in privateering), because England was at war with France and beginning to take an active role in doing away with all pirates that harassed its fleet.
		Kidd was reluctant to accept this shaky commission, but Bellomont reassured him that his backers, being some of the most powerful men in England, would stand behind the Captain.
		Kidd then sailed on to Boston fully expecting to be pardoned by Bellomont, his original backer and ally, once he produced the two French passes from the seized ships.

	The Newgate Calendar - CAPTAIN JOHN KIDD
		At this juncture Captain Kidd had arrived from New York in a sloop of his own; him, therefore, the Colonel mentioned to Lord Bellamont as a bold and daring man, who was very fit to be employed against the pirates, as he was perfectly well acquainted with the places which they resorted to.
		Kidd, therefore, on his arrival, was seized, by order of his lordship; when all he had to urge in his defence was that he thought the Quedah merchant was a lawful prize, as she was manned with Moors, though there was no kind of proof that this vessel had committed any act of piracy.
		Captain Kidd might have acquired a fortune, and rendered a capital service to his country, in a point the most essential to its interests; but he appeared to be dead to all those generous sensations which do honour to humanity, and materially injured his country, while he was bringing final disgrace on himself.

	The UnMuseum - A Pirate Rogue's Gallery
		Kidd's public mission was to clear the sea there of pirates, but it was probably understood by his backers that he would also take every opportunity to capture any enemy ships that had valuable cargo.
		Outside New York, Kidd buried the bulk of the treasure on Gardiner's Island (one of the few verified instances of a pirate actually burying a treasure) and attempted to use it as a bargaining chip for a pardon.
		Kidd's name is still associated with a supposed buried treasure on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, but it is doubtful that he is responsible for whatever is located there.

	"Captain Kidd" Movie Review
		Captain Kidd, as played by Charles Laughton, is rather atypical for a Hollywood pirate - more large and lazy than swashbuckling, he can nontheless fight when need be, and he conveys a brutishly scheming demeanor that makes his character surprisingly believable as a leader of cutthroats.
		The story revolves around Captain Kidd and his two-timing efforts to move upward in polite society while at the same time betraying the English Crown in an effort to conive his way to wealth and nobility.
		Kidd's insecurities, in fact, are played to wonderfully dry comedic effect, especially as the Captain hires a butler to educate him in the arts of being a gentleman (a task the butler clearly deams dreadfully hopeless.)

	Captain Kidd
		Practically ignored is the fact that Kidd was actually a respected resident of New York who journeyed to England in search of a commission in the Royal Navy.
		Kidd's fateful voyage turns into a personal confrontation of revenge and deceit, with most of the action played out in the cabins of his ship..
		Charles Laughton plays Kidd with a bag of facial ticks and sneers, imposing himself on the role with more intellectual guile than physical stature.
