Cork Graham is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on November 29, 1964 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Frederick Graham (born November 29 1964) who writes under the pseudonym Cork Graham, is an American writer of adventure memoirs and political thriller novels. He was a combat photographer, and was jailed in Vietnam for attempting to enter the country to look for treasures buried under the command of captain Kidd.

The two were moved out of the province prison in Kien Giang to a converted French military structure located in Ho Chi Minh City. Graham’s father claimed that the intermediary who visited his son in the month of January.

While Graham and Knight were released in 1984, the two Thai boatman who accompanied them remained in captivity. They were finally released after 44 months in captivity when Crutchlow paid the Vietnamese Embassy in Bangkok $6,000. Crutchlow said it was his “duty as an Englishman” to help them. “It was an Englishman who got them into Vietnam.

Knight was released on August 20.

A diplomat later described”the hunt “a hare-brained scheme.” The Washington Post described it as “dubious, since historians have never agreed whether Captain Kidd and his pirate ship, Adventure Galley, ever sailed the waters off the Indochinese coast.” “It was pretty stupid,” Graham admitted later on of the whole concept in his move to join Knight. “I couldn’t believe he was really going on this because it was really strange,” Perhaps not as “hare- brained” to others, because according to an US State Department. memo from Singapore, the US Embassy to Singapore in the morning of 0834 Zulu time on the 29th of July 1983 “Luckily, Grimley did not know or chose not to reveal the exact locations of the treasure on the island, else the Vice Consul in Singapore may have set her jib by now.”
