Matt McLaine lives in the South Carolina Lowcountry, less than an hour from where Blackbeard once blockaded Charles Towne harbor, and has fished the same Edisto River where reluctant pirate Charles Yeats once anchored his ship while waiting for a pardon from the Governor. He’s been writing about the Golden Age of Piracy since early 2017 when he wrote the first of his Wikipedia pirate articles. It quickly became a fascination which grew into two books (with more in progress), an academic journal article, interviews, and nearly 200 Wikipedia entries.
