![]() ![]() However, as they get closer, they realize that the ship is an English Royal Navy warship, and that attacking it would be simply foolish. Things soon get interesting when Stede spots a big ship on the horizon and, together with his crew, decides to loot it for some much-needed pirating action. However, the crew grows increasingly bored as the days go by, looting poor fishermen with empty dinghies and engaging in a friendly competition aboard, in which crewmates would have to design a flag for their ship, named Revenge, and the best design would be put up. He has also designed the ship to his own fancy taste, with walk-in closets for different clothes for different seasons and even a library. It is quite obvious that, as the leader of such a strange and unusual set of crewmates, Stede Bonnet is also not your usual pirate rather, he is a man who wants his crew to be happy and cheerful more than anything else, and therefore encourages all sorts of teamwork and entertainment activities onboard. ![]() This crew includes: Buttons, a grey-haired sailor who always has a seagull as a companion Lucius, a poetic scribe whose duty is to keep a record of all of Stede’s pirating adventures Frenchie, whose only talents are stitching and singing while playing a makeshift guitar The Swede, an unnamed Swedish man who seems quite eccentric and loves to sing, although he does so horribly Roach, the ship’s cook Wee John Feeney, a large-built man who loves violence and putting things on fire Oluwande, a dark-skinned compassionate man who always tries to sort things out between the crewmates Jim, a mysterious young man with scruffy long hair and a beard, who also happens to be mute and Black Pete, a pirate closest to the conventional depiction of pirates-he is constantly trying to build up a mutiny, and is falsely boastful of having been a part of the crew of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. However, despite being quite well-read on pirates and their activities, Stede hardly had any substantial sense or understanding of the profession, and it is here that the show begins, after Stede has managed to gather up a motley crew of crewmen. For the most part of his life, Bonnet had received everything readily, and so by middle age, he was bored of such a drab existence and set sail for a life of loot and plunder. To set the premise first, the year is 1717, around the golden age of piracy, when a wealthy English aristocratic landowner, named Stede Bonnet, gave up all his fortunes to go out on the open seas to become a pirate. ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Season 1: Recap Summary
