Pirates
bornactivedied
1800 ca1832-18341835, Jun 11
an early 19th-century pirate, who was one of the few remaining pirates continuing to raid shipping on the Atlantic coast. A former privateer in the service of the Colombian government, Gilbert began raiding American merchant vessels off the eastern coast of Florida with his schooner, the Panda in early 1832. Gilbert held the distinction of taking part in the last recorded act of piracy in Atlantic waters, although the distinction of "last American pirate" belongs to Nathaniel Gordon who was executed in 1862 for attempting to smuggle African slaves in violation of the U.S. Piracy Law of 1820.
