QMR - The Quest for Morgan's Rum
1. He was actually a nice guy.
2. Pioneered the route which became known as the Pirate Round.
3. Patron pirate of Rhode Island
Thomas Tew (died 1695), also known as the Rhode Island Pirate, was a 17th century English privateer-turned-pirate. Although he embarked on only two major piratical voyages, and met a bloody death on the latter journey, Tew pioneered the route which became known as the Pirate Round. Many other famous pirates, including Henry Every and William Kidd, would follow in Tew’s path. Much of what is known about Tew is derived from [1], which is a mixture of fact and fiction. When reading about Thomas Tew it is important to be able to distinguish between truth and story. Captain Charles Johnson said "Tew, in Point of Gallantry, was inferior to none."
Many thanks to Mandarin Lake for placing the original cache.
