Historical Background from the Most Haunted Wesbiste

Bristol Waterfront

Bristol has been home to a lively port for at least 1000 years. The first settlers to the area traded timber and fabrics with their Irish neighbours. As trade flourished and demand grew, the port was expanded in the 13th Century. By the 14th century the city was trading with several countries including Spain, Portugal and Iceland. Ships also left Bristol to found new colonies in the New World.

In the eighteenth century, Bristol was ideally located to trade with the West Indian and American colonies in slavery and tobacco. These prosperous, financially attractive trade routes soon came to the attention of pirates, ensuring that Bristol became a prime locale in the golden age of piracy.

Legendary pirates and privateers, such as Blackbeard (allegedly a Bristolian) and Bartholomew Roberts had links to the city and many piratical legends have been formed in Bristol
