Although he was active for only three years, Low remains notorious as one of the most vicious pirates of the age, with a reputation for violently torturing his victims before murdering them. Low and his pirate crews captured at least a hundred ships during his short career, burning most of them. Low captained a number of ships, usually maintaining a small fleet of three or four. Two years later, he became a pirate, operating off the coasts of New England and the Azores, and in the Caribbean.
His wife died in childbirth in late 1719. He moved to Boston, Massachusetts, as a young man. Low was born into poverty in Westminster, London, and was a thief from an early age. Edward " Ned" Low (also spelled Lowe or Loe 1690–1724) was a notorious pirate of English origin during the latter days of the Golden Age of Piracy, in the early 18th century.
