Bartholomew Roberts – Pirates Series | Official Lost Archives Scroll Edition

Printed on parchment-style paper, this 8.5x11 scroll brings the remarkable story of Bartholomew Roberts — Black Bart, Discipline, and the Height of the Golden Age — to life in stunning detail. Bartholomew Roberts — known as Black Bart — was a Welsh pirate and one of the most successful pirates of the Golden Age. Rising from reluctant recruit to elected captain, his daring, discipline, and distinctive flags made him a legend whose name inspired fear and respect across the seas.

He was killed by grapeshot in battle against HMS Swallow off Cape Lopez, West Africa, on February 10, 1722
