In the summer of 1699 a sea captain buried gold and silver on a small island near New York. Within weeks he was in chains, and two years later he was hanged in London as a pirate. His name was William Kidd - and he had been sent out by powerful English lords, with the king's own commission, to hunt pirates. This is the true story behind the legend: the Adventure Galley and her angry crew, the death of the gunner William Moore, the capture of the Quedagh Merchant off the coast of India, the anger in the Mughal port of Surat, the crew that walked away at Saint Mary's Island, the treasure on Gardiners Island, the trial at which Kidd's French passes could not be found - and the passes that turned up two centuries later. Then three hundred years of treasure hunting: Oak Island, The Gold-Bug and Treasure Island, mysterious charts, a wreck found in the Dominican Republic in 2007, and a "silver" bar from Madagascar that turned out to be lead.

Whether he was really a pirate is still argued - his French passes, missing at his trial, were found in the early 20th century and support his story, but he is also said to have tried to attack a Mughal convoy near the Red Sea. How William Moore died ("reportedly" an iron-bound bucket), how long Kidd's body hung at Tilbury (three or twenty years, by different accounts), whether the 2007 wreck is the Quedagh Merchant (the archaeologists believe so) and the 1930s charts (said to be Kidd's; many researchers think they were forged) are told as uncertain. No treasure of Kidd's has ever been found anywhere else.
