Newest In Series: The Rising Sun The fourth release features William Moody’s legendary ship, the Rising Sun. Moody was a pirate known for looting and burning countless ships in the Caribbean for a short time between 1718 to 171. Moody’s reign on the open ocean was short lived due to his treatment of the sailors on his ship and resentment began to grow. Soon after, the crew forced Moody, along with a few of his supporters, into a small boat and set sail without them. Captain Moody was never seen again and presumed lost at sea.

There are a number of pirates in history. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the next year's series.

To name a few pirates (not yet featured in this series) are Henry Every "Long Ben", Anne Bonny, Henry Morgan, William Kidd, Calico Jack, Howell Davis, Charles Vane, and the riches of them all Samuel Bellamy. Samuel Bellamy was captain of the Whydah, one of the most formidable pirate ships of that age. I wonder if he is next.

I hope the Perth Mint does not cut the series short, the way The Solomon Silver Pirate Queens Series ended when there were some more female pirates they could have featured.
