Description
On January 2, 1678, a fleet of French ships sank off the Venezuelan coast. This proved disastrous for French naval power in the region, and sparked the rise of a golden age of privacy.
Tracing the lives of fabled pirates like the Chevalier de Grammont, Nikolaas Van hoorn, Thomas Paine, and Jean Comte d’Estrees, The Lost Fleet portrays a dark age, when the outcasts of a European society formed a democracy of buccaneers, settling on a string of islands off the African coast.
