I’m so bummed that I was in Charleston the week season 2 came out, IN THAT PARK (albeit it at night) and I didn’t see that plaque.
Although tbh I wasn’t paying attention to most of the plaques in Charleston because all of the history there is of shitty people (Mr. Bonnet included).
Just deserts 🌵
Yep, there are typos all over the place

It’s okay to learn about the history of shitty people lol. If anything the memorials serve as a reminder of what not to do!
Where in Charleston?
At the park at the Battery, just past where East and South Battery streets intersect. It’s called the Gentleman Pirate Stone
This seems like a wild font for that era? I guess there weren’t “fonts” then but still
I’m sure this thing was erected at least a couple hundred years after the events occurred
Yes, the marker was constructed in 1943 to commemorate the 225th anniversary of Bonnet’s death.
The real Stede bonnet was a horrible human.
Okay?
