The Secrets of the Pirate Sam Bellamy
<p>Bellamy was believed to be from Devon, England and born in 1689. He came of age just as the buccaneer era was giving way to the new generation. At some point after 1713 he joined up with the more experienced Edward ‘Blackbeard’ Thatch and Benjamin Hornigold.</p>
<p>In this new era, Hornigold was the one who retained some principles; he refused to attack English shipping. Bellamy was unaffected by such notions or loyalty to his home nation. This was believed to be the reason for Hornigold’s crew’s decision to elevate Bellamy to Captain. Bellamy then sailed with a French pirate called ‘La Buse’ (The Buzzard), taking a few prizes near the Virgin Islands.</p>
