Talk:Bartholomew Roberts

Possible (Primary?) Source Mention
Currently working on a transcription of Atkin's "A Voyage to Guinea, Brasil, and the West-Indies; in His Majesty's Ships the Ships the Swallow and Weymouth." and noticed a mention (pages numbered in print as 191-4) that I infer may be a description of the prize taken from the Royal Fortune, the Ranger, and the Little Ranger. Someone more familiar with the topic of this article may be interested in skimming the book to see if it contains anything worthwhile for inclusion in this (or a related) article. Also see pp. 262-263. Link to scan of print version at archive.org 104.158.222.101 (talk) 02:48, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

I hope to God I'm doing this right
What could be included in the list of mentions of this pirate in literature, is the Richard Middleton story 'The Ghost Ship' ['The Ghost Ship and Other Stories' first printed 1912]. An old-time sailing ship sails in on a storm one night, and comes to rest in the farmer's turnip field. It is the vessel of Captain Bartholomew Roberts. Later, it turns out to have been a pirate ship. Percy Mandible (talk) 20:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Birthplace
As someone born in Pembrokeshire in 1682 Bartholomew was born in the Kingdom of England. Undid the 'minor edit' which removed this verifiable, incontrovertible, historical fact. Don't state 'minor edit' to try to sneak in changes of significant facts. 82.21.19.72 (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
