Chapman Readers will be launched into the midst of high adventure on seas filled with vile marauders, heroic mariners, and one man who was a little of both. George Lowther was a mutineer and a pirate, one of the most prolific during the golden age of piracy. His first mate, Edward “Ned” Low, went on to establish himself as perhaps the most sadistic and depraved of all pirate captains. Virtually all popular sources specify Lowther’s death being by suicide in 1723, while marooned on the small island of Blanquilla, off the coast of Venezuela. While researching the War of Jenkins’ Ear, historian Craig Chapman found repeated references to “Lowther the Pirate” in primary source material. This Lowther was pardoned and commissioned as a Royal Navy lieutenant in 1741. Further research revealed that this was indeed George Lowther. In this biography, readers will experience the adventures and examine the motivations of this most unusual mariner and come to understand how George Lowther was “resurrected” as a Royal Navy officer, nearly 20 years after the death of his pirate career.
