Calico Jack

John Rackham (d. 1720), also known as Jack Rackham or 'Calico Jack' for his preference for cotton clothing, was an English pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy (1690-1730). Rackham took over the pirate crew of Charles Vane (d. 1721), and his recruits included the two infamous women pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Captain Rackham was tried on four charges of piracy, found guilty, and hanged in Port Royal, Jamaica in November 1720.

Charles Vane’s Quartermaster

From at least 1718, Rackham sailed as quartermaster and the second-in-command to the notorious English pirate Charles Vane, operating in the Caribbean and off the east coast of North America. Before this time, nothing is known of Rackham's life. In August 1718, Vane refused a royal pardon in the Bahamas and fired his cannons at the ship of the governor Woodes Rogers (1679-1732) as he and Rackham escaped port and reached the freedom of the open sea.

Vane operated a small fleet of pirate ships and Rackham commanded the English prize vessel Kingston. Vane was known as a cruel pirate captain who dished out punishments such as keelhauling, and he faced accusations of not sharing out his plunder fairly amongst his crew. In November 1718, Vane refused to attack a well-armed French frigate in the Windward Passage between Cuba and Hispaniola. His crew had wanted to attack and so after a period of no prizes being taken, they eventually mutinied in the spring of 1719. On a charge of cowardice, Vane was voted out, and Rackham was promoted to captain. It may have been that the quarrel was not really about cowardice but was over Rackham not wanting to share out the liquor which was amongst the Kingston’s cargo. Vane was left to leave in another ship, but this was then shipwrecked. Vane was eventually rescued from a desert island, but he was taken to prison and hanged.

#Repost @ofgrave.concern ・・・ 18th November 1720, English pirate Captain John Rackham, also known as Calico Jack, due to his choice of calico clothing, is executed for piracy in Port Royal at the age of 37. Calico Jack operated from the Bahamas from 1718-1720, in the last period of the Golden Age of piracy. After serving as a quartermaster on fellow pirate Charles Vane's sloop Ranger in 1718, Rackhman deposed Vane of his captaincy. While in Nassau in 1720 Rackham met and started an affair with Anne Bonny who joined his crew. Aboard Rackham’s ship ‘The Revenge’ also was Mark Read, who it was discovered was Mary Read. Read and Bonny are the only two women known to have been convicted of piracy during the early 18th century. After execution his body was then gibbeted on display on a small strip of land outside the port known ever since as Rackham's Cay. 22nd November 1718, death of the pirate Edward Teach, more famously known as Blackbeard, who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American colonies; in a captured French merchant vessel renamed the Queen Anne's Revenge. Using his thick black beard from where he lit fuses to make his head smoke, he garnered a fearsome appearance, utilizing that appearance alone rather than using force or violence. This tatic worked, for although he and his crew were able to capture numerous vessels they did so with no historical record of torture or murder. On this day, during a ferocious battle, Teach and several of his crew were killed by a small force of sailors led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard of the British Royal Navy. Upon his death Maynard beheaded Teach, and displayed the head from the front of his ship.
