Thomas Tew ? — 1695
Thomas Tew's nationality was Engliosh. He immigrated to American colonies however and lived in Rhode Island
Thomas recieved a vessel armed with ammunition as a request from the governer. He was supposedly sailing as a privateer. but then announced himself in to piracy.
He sailed through the Red Sea to the Ottoman Empire, where he and his crew easily overtook the boat and claimed 100,000 in gold and silver. Tew went on his second and final journey. Again, he, now with a crew of atleast 50 men, sailed the Red Sea again. They went with other pirate crews and soon boarded the boat they were after. Thomas died of a fatal cannon blow.
Thomas Tew's closest and only friend was
Captain Want
I think it woulld have been cool to be a pirate, but i wouldn't have served for Thomas Tew. Tew seemed like no one liked him but he had one friend. It would be fun to serve on a pirate ship because you would get a share of the prize when they find it.
