Titre: John Gow, Scottish Pirate
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
John Gow (1698 - June 11, 1725) was a Scottish pirate whose short career was immortalized by Charles Johnson in A General History of the Pyrates. Little is known of his life, except from an account by Daniel Defoe, which is often considered unreliable, and the report on his execution. Gow was slow to die when he hanged. To relieve his pain, some of his friends pulled at his legs, but this just broke the rope, causing him to tumble to the ground, from where he was gathered up and hanged again. His body was tarred and suspended on the riverbank of the Thames, as a warning to other would-be pirates. (cropped and cleaned)
