Is ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Based On True Story?
Our Flag Means Death is based on a true storey about a wealthy aristocrat named Stede Bonnet.
After purchasing a ship and joining forces with the renowned Blackbeard, he exchanged his luxury lifestyle for a life as a pirate.
Over the course of 20 months, we witness as he was committing crimes and living the life of a pirate before being hanged in December 1718.
Our Flag Means Death’s first three episodes debuted on HBO Max on March 3, 2022. Stede Bonnet, an aristocrat who abandons his life of luxury to become a pirate, is the protagonist of the series.
Many people have complimented the series for tackling under-represented early-eighteenth-century themes and the truths of piracy.
