Blount
Blount (died 1713) was a British Navy Captain operating in the Caribbean in the early 1700s.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1713, in Kingston, Jamaica, Blount interrogated a drunken Spanish sailor about the location of a wrecked treasure galleon before being knocked out by the pirate Edward Kenway. [2]
Nevertheless, Blount managed to arrive at the wrecked galleon's location in the Bahamas before the Sea Dog's Bite crew and claim its treasure.[3] However, this victory was short-lived, as the pirates made their way through the British camp until they located the gold-filled chest and stole it.[4]
Blount gave chase to the pirates in his Man O' War, so Edward Thatch ordered his crew to board the ship and wreak havoc. The pirates soon reached Blount on the burning quarterdeck surrounded by powder barrels, where he engaged them in combat, but was fatally wounded. Deciding to die on his own terms, Blount stumbled to the railing and cast himself into the water below.[5]
