Ahh, the devil's reach.
The 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 fate is that he
became a minor lord in the Dutch controlled islands.
Still, to any who'd sail past Cape Cod, sail lightly as the Devil's Reach still owns this bay.
