Incredibly pedantic nit-pick: While Captain Kidd was tried, convicted and executed as a pirate, there is overwhelming evidence that he was railroaded.

He was chartered as a privateer by English nobles, but when he basically fucked up his privateering missions – complete with actual pirates stealing his ship and most of his crew mutinying – he was branded a pirate, hunted down, arrested, imprisoned, executed and gibbetted before he could say, “Arr, matey!”

But I still don’t know shit about boats.

Failure… ah well, dismissed to the lower half of the tote board again…

In your defense, “used by the U.S. Navy” could reasonably be interpreted as “ever used.” :slight_smile:

  13. Hasn’t everyone been here?

  15. I wanted to say more egregious disasters - like the General Slocum, or the Eastland. But they wouldn’t match.
