For those interested in the history of the real Stede Bonnet (and loosely the #OFMD Stede Bonnet), the Bonnet sugar plantation is still shown on Barbadian maps in 1747-1775, years after Stede’s death.
If you zoom out, you can also find the Allamby plantation where Stede’s wife grew up and her family remained.
FWIW, Bonnet’s wife moved from the Bonnet estate into Bridgetown after he left the island and family and the land was sold in 1764. The plantation likely continued to be operated in the same manner as when Stede was present (mostly through the use of enslaved labor).
