                                                             Last Pirate King

                                                              Nathanial Gordon


         On one of his many sea voyages Daedalus's vessel was boarded by the last Pirate
             King, Captain Nathanial Gordon, along with his band of toothless pirates
           suffering from a terrible bout of scurvy. The cunning Doctor made a bargain

         with Captain Gordon; his life and that of his remaining crew would be spared if
          he cured the Pirates. Daedalus made them this drink & the Pirates liked it so
         very much… However they got so intoxicated that the doctor was able to steal

         back his ship and precious cargo. The irate pirates chased the Doctor but due to
           their drunkenness they ran aground and wrecked their vessel. News of this
        reached the British Admiralty and Daedalus was offered a medal of honour and an
          audience with the Queen. The Doctor refused in order to save his mother the

                         discomfort of pretending not to know him..
          The Law eventually caught up with the Dread Captain Gordon in 1862 and he
                                   was hung by the neck.
