Charles Gibbs, American Pirate

When the young Dutch girl was captured by pirate Charles Gibbs in the Caribbean in 1818, he defended her against his crew, but later allowed her to be poisoned. Charles Gibbs (1798-1831) was an American pirate (real name James D. Jeffers) who was one of the last active in the Caribbean during the early-19th century and was among the last executed for piracy by the United States. His career, like many others during this time, was marked by violence and brutality. Jeffers admitted to have been involved in the killing of as many as 400 victims. His confessions detailing his career were recorded and published following his death and remained popular reading, though historians have questioned the accuracy of Jeffers's confessions.

Título:
Charles Gibbs, American Pirate
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Cuando la joven holandesa fue capturada por el pirata Charles Gibbs en el Caribe en 1818, él la defendió de su tripulación, pero luego permitió que la envenenaran. Charles Gibbs (1798-1831) fue un pirata estadounidense (nombre real James D. Jeffers) que fue uno de los últimos activos en el Caribe a principios del siglo XIX y estuvo entre los últimos ejecutados por piratería por los Estados Unidos. Su carrera, como muchas otras durante este tiempo, estuvo marcada por la violencia y la brutalidad. Jeffers admitió haber estado involucrado en el asesinato de unas 400 víctimas. Sus confesiones que detallan su carrera fueron grabadas y publicadas después de su muerte y siguieron siendo lecturas populares, aunque los historiadores han cuestionado la exactitud de las confesiones de Jeffers.
