| rdfs:comment | - On June 10th, 1682, Captain Bartholomew Sharp, buccaneer, and two of his crew, John Cox and William Williams, were indicted on charges of piracy and murder in the High Court of the Admiralty. It is however far more likely to be named after Bartholomew Roberts, one of the most well known pirates in history. It could also be named for [1]Bartholomew the Apostle, who is purported to have been flayed alive. In many artistic representations, he's depicted holding a knife and his flayed skin.
