Captain Kidd's shipwreck reveals insights into life aboard a pirate ship, as well as the forces of world-scale economies in the 17th century. Frederick Hanselmann deconstructs the tales of the nefarious captain, and what emerges is the story of an adventurer and privateer contextualized by issues of economics, politics, empire, and ambition.
