114: Black Sam Bellamy: The Robin Hood of the Sea | True Crime & Strange Mysteries

Black Sam Bellamy wasn’t your average pirate. Known as the “Robin Hood of the Sea,” he was charming, stylish, surprisingly merciful, and also responsible for capturing more than 50 ships before meeting a very dramatic end aboard the Whydah. In this episode, we’re diving into the true crime, strange mysteries, and legendary love story surrounding one of history’s most successful pirates, because apparently stealing ships is fine as long as you look hot in a velvet coat while doing it. https://www.thetruecrimedatabase.com/case_file/black-bellamy/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bellamy https://www.piratesinfo.com/famous-pirates/samuel-bellamy/ https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/black-sam-bellamy-pirate-fought-smart-harmed-scored-big/ https://medium.com/@scraze88/the-secrets-of-the-pirate-sam-bellamy-585418ed8518 https://realpiratessalem.com/blog/the-real-captain-black-sam-bellamy-historys-most-successful-pirate/?srsltid=AfmBOopbd8-XsB9bWCwK2AGn4iGUrL-9b2QVLQvL-eKu8VwpvEJVoL20 https://dmrbooks.com/test-blog/2022/1/28/black-sam-bellamy-and-the-witch-of-wellfleet https://www.worldhistory.org/Samuel_Bellamy/ https://archive.org/stream/privateeringandp24882gut/24882.txt https://digital.lib.ecu.edu/17002 https://www.gutenberg.org/files/40580/40580-h/40580-h.htm https://www.masshist.org/beehiveblog/2017/11/the-end-of-piracy-pirates-hanged-in-boston-300-years-ago/ https://www.discoverpirates.com/whydah-gally-history/ https://www.discoverpirates.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5903/2023/12/Educator-Guide-6-8-1.pdf https://www.discoverpirates.com/blog/what-the-whydahs-brass-rings-reveal-about-the-slave-trade-and-the-benin-bronzes/ https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jun-01-sci-pirate1-story.html https://www.cindyvallar.com/BellamyMartel-Nelson.html
