Database: A Vicious Captain

England//United Kingdom//1680 The history of Charles Vane is not well documented, but he arrived in Port Royal during the War of the Spanish Succession and first served under the infamous pirate Henry Jennings.

Once he set out on his own, Vane recruited his old friend "Calico" Jack Rackham as his quartermaster. He was notoriously cruel to the crews of ships he captured and even withheld spoils from his own men, earning a reputation for being a difficult Captain to sail under.
