"As pirates go, Richard Coyle and John RIchardson have gone down in history as the stooges of the piece. Their unfortunate story came to light because of their trial and subsequent hanging were recorded in the Newgate Calendar, but it must representative of thousands of other young men, who aspired to be pirates but had neither the brains, nor the brawn, to carry it off."
-Pirates & Privateers, Charlottle Montague
