| Using a variety of ships, ranging from [[Schooner|schooners]] to [[Man O' War|Men O' War]], pirate hunters would follow and attack their targets after the pirate had become notorious enough. Easily recognizable by their crimson sails and black-and-red hulls, hunters wore brown outfits with red accents, and were often converted pirates. [[Benjamin Hornigold]] was one such pirate hunter, working to eliminate his former allies after he joined the [[Templar Order]] in 1718. His two lieutenants, [[Josiah Burgess]] and [[John Cockram]], joined him in his task, and succeeded in killing the pirate captain Howell in [[Principe]] the following year.
