The bag that the pincushion sits in is actually ceramic _ I couldn't resist it for 50p! The beads and the thimble cost 20p between them! Brilliant finds! :)
Before 1689, Kidd was a member of various buccaneer crews and eventually captained a privateer ship that was commissioned to protect the English colonies in the Caribbean against French attacks. He soon learned that patronage (i.e. making friends with influential men who could help him) was the best method of advancement. For the next half dozen years Kidd was in New York (a haven for pirates) doing favors for, and accepting favors from, powerful friends.
