Stede Bonnet
Stede Bonnet, often referred to as the "Gentleman Pirate," was known for his distinctive appearance. He was typically depicted as a tall man with a well-groomed beard and dressed in fine clothing, reflecting his background as a plantation owner before turning to piracy. His attire often included a tricorn hat, elegant waistcoats, and breeches, showcasing a blend of gentility and the ruggedness of a pirate's life. Bonnet's appearance contrasted with the stereotypical image of a rough and scruffy pirate, emphasizing his unique status in the pirate community.

He may have been a sailor on privateer ships during Queen Anne's War before settling on the Caribbean island of New Providence, a base for Captain Benjamin Hornigold, whose crew Teach joined sometime around 1716. Hornigold placed him in command of a sloop he had captured, and the two engaged in numerous acts of piracy. Their numbers were boosted by the addition to their fleet of two more ships, one of which was commanded by Stede Bonnet, but toward the end of 1717 Hornigold retired from piracy, taking two vessels with him.
