St. Mary's Island
When Kidd arrived at St. Mary's Island aboard the Adventure Galley, he spotted a ship that belonged to noted pirate, Robert Culliford, the Mocha Frigate. Since Kidd's mission was to capture pirate treasure, he immediately began a battle plan, but he felt undermanned, so he decided to wait for his other two ships, the November and the Quedagh Merchant, to arrive before attacking. Six weeks passed before both the November and the Quedagh Merchant arrived at St. Mary's Island.

Famous quotes containing the words mary and/or island:
“If Mary came would Mary
Forgive, as Mothers may,
And sad and second Saviour
Furnish us today?”

“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
