PirateKing Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Trying to find some details about a pirate named Captain Balestrier. It's proving difficult to hard to find very much information on him. He was (c.1709-1742) Majorcan, and active in the eastern Mediterranean sea.... Anyone have a bio or anything more on him than this? Thanks, PirateKing http://www.raidersandrebels.com http://www.ThePirateKing.com Over 180 online biographies of Pirates, Privateers, Explorers, & Buccaneers, along with loads of historical information on Sailing, Shipwrecks & Nautical Archaeology
King's Pyrate Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Trying to find some details about a pirate named Captain Balestrier. It's proving difficult to hard to find very much information on him.He was (c.1709-1742) Majorcan, and active in the eastern Mediterranean sea.... Anyone have a bio or anything more on him than this? Thanks, PirateKing http://www.raidersandrebels.com Are you sure he was not Minorcan.....it is the next island over and Mahon, the main city, was a more famous seaport at the time....my ancestors came from there in 1760 as indentured servants of Dr. Turnbull's plantation in British Florida. But I am sure there are more men in the pirate business all around the world than we will ever know. Good luck in your quest KP ps: I have been to your web site many times and enjoyed it very much.
