Captain Kidd, Jean Lafitte and the Great Pirate Roberts join forces for an ocean of fun. All 3 play figures bend and pose for exceptional play value.Accessories: 3 swords, red parrot and gold coinPirate Legends: Pirate Legends includes Captain Kidd, Jean Lafitte and the Great Pirate Roberts.Bartholomew Roberts, known as the Great Pirate Roberts, plundered hundreds of ships from Africa to Brazil to North America. Unlike most pirates of his day, Captain Roberts was well educated and considered a true gentleman. But he was bold and fearless. He once sailed his ten-gun ship into a Newfoundland harbor with black colors flying, drums beating and trumpets sounding. The crews of the 22 ships in anchor were terrified and fled. Captain Roberts aggressive nature turned him into one of the wealthiest pirates ever. He did not just sit and wait for ships to prey on. Instead he went in search of lonely vessels to attack. The Great Pirate Roberts pirating days came to an end when he was killed off the coast of Africa. Upon his death, the crew burst into tears at the loss of their beloved captain.Captain KiddCaptain William Kidd was one of the most colorful and fearsome pirates in history. He lived in New York as a Privateer, hired by the British government to attack enemy ships. Captain Kidd was so successful that he was sent on a great mission to capture pirates in the Indian Ocean. He set sail on a powerful ship, the Adventure Galley, equipped with 34 cannons and a crew of 80 cutthroats. When his crew threatened him with mutiny, Captain Kidd became a pirate himself. His greatest feat as a pirate was capturing the huge ship Quedagh Merchant, which held vast treasures. Captain Kidd returned to New York, was found guilty of piracy and sent back to England in chains. There he was hanged and his body strung up as a warning to other would-be pirates. While some of his missing treasure was found off Long Island, most was never found.Jean LafitteJean Lafitte (1780-1826)Jean Lafitte, know
