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.

Famous quotes containing the word island:
“I suggested to them also the great desirability of a general knowledge on the Island of the English language. They are under an English speaking government and are a part of the territory of an English speaking nation.... While I appreciated the desirability of maintaining their grasp on the Spanish language, the beauty of that language and the richness of its literature, that as a practical matter for them it was quite necessary to have a good comprehension of English.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
