i have it's story in store from the previous anon who shared the tale of the devil's reach
***
This song is about a real Pirate Ship, and Kingston Bay is the bottom of Cape Cod's bay right
outside of Boston.
A lord's bastard son named Tom Cutter held the entire region hostage in a way, the local traders
and merchants all paid him and his crew "taxes" for safe passage in and out of the bay. He did
this quite daringly, because it was the waning era of piracy, few, if any, could stand against
the might of the English/French/Spanish/Dutch Armadas.
First the British put a bounty on Cutter for illegal taxation. Cutter sent back to the crown a
bounty hunter's head in a box with the official papers nailed to it, along with a note explaining
the legitimacy of his office. Then the Dutch put a bounty up for him stealing and selling slaves
meant for Boston. Cutter sent the figurehead of a Dutch mercenary ship back to their crown, also
with a note explaining the legitimacy of his office.
Here is where the legend comes alive. Boston and other provinces in the area grew desperate, so
they tacked up signs in the bay warning merchants and traders to turn back, and head further
north to sell their wares. Cutter found out about this and was elated, he immediately adopted the
signs as a token of fortune and put even more up. Finally the British were forced to acknowledge
the embarrassing ordeal, and take military action against him, being under pressure from the
Dutch, French, Spanish, and not to mention some VERY wealthy trading nobles. They sent out a
detail of five full sized warships, an overwhelming display of might.

Thinking no mere pirate could possibly ever defeat a detail as this, they sailed into the bay at
the dead of night, hoping to catch the Devil's Reach off guard. Instead it is they who were
ambushed and somehow, Cutter and his merciless band won the day. And as the song goes, the ship
was shattered but still floating, he and his crew sailed it onto the nearest beach, nailed yet
another sign to it, warning those that dared, that this was the Devil's Reach's territory.
Along with the sign was another note written by Cutter explaining that his days of Piracy were
over, and that if he was perused, he would return with a terrible vengeance. None ever did, he
disappeared from the annals of history there. The most likely I've read is he retired to the
dutch controlled islands as a minor lord. It's not easy to obtain this information, the internet
barely has anything on this man, because the British afterwards made several laws making it
illegal to discuss/write about famous privateers at that time. Rumors are the laws started
because of Cutter himself and the Brits didn't want another Blackbeard sailing up and down
colonial America. But the folk tales held, that's how I heard of it, in a dive-bar right next to
the bay itself.
Where did I find this info you ask? Boston Library has several old pieces about Cutter and his
crew, and I had a kindly older gentleman from the Royal Naval Academy fax me some official
documents about Cutter, these proved in my mind he was very real, and he was greatly feared. I
plan to write a book or at least a very lengthy document about the man, Like the song says, he
was practically on the level of Morgan or Blackbeard when it came to telling world powers to
stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
