The Voyages of Captain Edwards
Created for author and historian Ben Edwards, this map portrays the voyages of his ancestor, Captain Benjamin Edwards master of the ship Sarah, a 60 ton vessel built in Boston. His final voyages occurred aboard the Greyhound from 1718-1722. This 110 ton ship had 6 guns and a crew of 14 men. He was attacked and commandeered by the famous pirate George Lowther. I used authentic period graphics from newspapers in my collection and gave it a yellowed paper texture to recall that era of pirates and sail.
