St. Mary's Island
When Kidd arrived at St. Mary's Island aboard the Adventure Galley, he spotted a ship that belonged to noted pirate, Robert Culliford, the Mocha Frigate. Since Kidd's mission was to capture pirate treasure, he immediately began a battle plan, but he felt undermanned, so he decided to wait for his other two ships, the November and the Quedagh Merchant, to arrive before attacking. Six weeks passed before both the November and the Quedagh Merchant arrived at St. Mary's Island.
