His first mate, Edward \"Ned\" Low, went on to establish himself as perhaps the most sadistic and depraved of all pirate captains. Virtually all popular sources specify Lowther's death being by suicide in 1723, while marooned on the small island of Blanquilla, off the coast of Venezuela. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  While researching the War of Jenkins' Ear, historian Craig Chapman found repeated references to \"Lowther the Pirate\" in primary source material. This Lowther was pardoned and commissioned as a Royal Navy lieutenant in 1741. Further research revealed that this was indeed George Lowther, and therefore, that the date and place of his death had been reported erroneously. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  The 18th-century Caribbean seas were filled with vile marauders and heroic mariners, and George Lowther was a little of both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55566216593782,"sku":"9780764369070","price":25.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39681271_65c6f58c-8a5b-4799-b9df-1008b6cd75db.jpg?v=1769664556","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780764369070-resurrected-pirate","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
