How the story begins
The hangman tied the noose badly, and the man about to die told him so. William Fly, twenty-seven, climbed the gallows in Boston on the twelfth of July, 1726, with a nosegay in his hand. He looked at the knot, scolded the hangman "for not understanding his Trade," and retied it himself. Six weeks earlier, on the ship Elizabeth, he had led a mutiny. Captain John Green begged not to go overboard.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
Visiting
Long Wharf, at the foot of State Street, by Aquarium station. An open public wharf, free at any hour. This wharf is a view of the harbor, not the site of the gallows. Nixes Mate is about five nautical miles out and is closed to the public.
