The End of Avery's Pirate Career

Avery bribed the Governor Trott for protection with 7,000 pounds for his and his crew’s safety. After the Governor agreed the crew spent many days in Nassau. They debated on what to do next with their lives. A couple wanted to stay where they were; so they got married and stayed. The rest of the pirates split into three different groups with different ideas of how to go back to normal life with their treasures. Avery decided to go to north of Ireland. They arrived at Dunfanaghy and were greeted by customs who treated them in a strange manner and gave them gold and passes to Dublin. After traveling for six miles Avery left his men saying that he was on his way to Scotland. Many of his men wanted to travel with him, but he didn’t let them. Not long after five members of the crew were caught and hanged on November 25, 1696.
