The Sea Dog's Bite was a British privateer vessel captained by Edward Thatch during his years of service to the British Empire before he became a pirate.[1][2]

History[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 1713, the Sea Dog's Bite intercepted and engaged Alexander Dolzell's Emperor, a privateer vessel which had recently turned to piratical acts, during its attack on the Amazon Galley. The crew of the Sea Dog's Bite quickly overwhelmed and eliminated the majority of the Emperor's crew before taking on a handful as replacement crew, including one Edward Kenway.[1][3]

On 28 July, Thatch learned about the Treaty of Utrecht, which brought an end to the War of the Spanish Succession and the need for privateers in the West Indies. With their future uncertain, Thatch informed his crew that they would be turning to piracy and that anyone who disagreed was free to leave. Edward Kenway and Charles Johnson were among the crew members that elected to continue serving under Thatch aboard the Sea Dog's Bite.[4]

Later that year, the Sea Dog's Bite docked in Kingston, as the crew had heard rumors of a wrecked treasure galleon filled with prizes to plunder.[5] After Kenway and three other crewmen rescued a Spanish sailor from the Royal Navy, he told them of the galleon's location in the Bahamas.[6] The crew subsequently sailed to find it, but discovered that the Royal Navy captain Blount had already seized the galleon's treasure chest,[7] and they were forced to steal it from Blount's camp.[8] As the Sea Dog's Bite sailed away with the prize, it was pursued by Blount's Man O' War. The crew repelled the attack and sank the enemy ship.[9]

In early 1714, Edward Kenway left the Sea Dog's Bite to join Abel Bramah's crew aboard the Jacobite, despite Thatch advising him against it.[10] On 22 September 1714, Israel Hands joined the Sea Dog's Bite crew as first mate after impressing Thatch with stories of his past voyages.[11]

In November 1717, Thatch captured a slave ship called La Concorde, which he renamed to the Queen Anne's Revenge and which became his most famous vessel.[12] After assuming command of the new ship, Thatch left the Sea Dog's Bite to a French captain who had been part of La Concorde's crew.[13]
