Ile Sainte Marie or Nosy drills is a small oblong granite island.
Despite the large number of stone, this tropical island is literally immersed in greenery, with its coast dotted with sandy beaches and shallow bays with colorful coral reefs.
Once this place was a refuge for thousands of pirates. The island was located in close proximity to Maritime trade routes. This allowed the pirates to thoroughly prepare for each attack. At the same time, île Sainte-Marie was a great shelter with lots of food, booze and women.
Where? The thing is that in 1685, the year here unofficially crowned himself some Adam Baldridge, escaped from Jamaica, where he was waiting for punishment for murder. Adam had a good connection in new York, so he quickly established a trading activity. He was selling looted by pirates in new York, and in return, bought guns, rum, and tools. Also Baldric traded slaves and local tribes pay him tribute. Adam had a Palace on one of the highest hills of the island and a harem of women. However, when the American tried to sell into slavery a few local, the natives rebelled and expelled Baldridge from the island in 1697, the year.
The island almost immediately went into decline, many pirates settled on the island and married local girls. Here they were buried in a separate cemetery. It is called the cemetery of pirates.
