Peter Chamberlaine (1660s – 1718) was a British Commodore, assigned to fight piracy in the West Indies in the early 18th century alongside Governor Woodes Rogers.
Biography
During the early 18th century, Commodore Peter Chamberlaine was assigned to assist Governor Woodes Rogers with his reforms and help him in issuing King George's pardon to pirates, allowing them to be absolved of their crimes. Chamberlaine, however, had a burning hatred for pirates, as well as for his civilian superior, and decided to take matters into his own hands.
In 1718, Chamberlaine and Rogers made port in the pirate-controlled colony of Nassau, offering their pardon to the 'governors' of the island - Benjamin Hornigold, Charles Vane, and Edward Thatch - and meeting with them in the local fort. Chamberlaine threatened to kill the pirates outright, but was stopped by Rogers, who gave them time to make their decision.
After the meeting, only Hornigold accepted the pardon and met again with Rogers and Chamberlaine. However, the Commodore suspected a revolt was being planned and returned to his ship. Without consulting Rogers, Chamberlaine had his men blockade the port and prepare to take down all the pirate ships in Nassau's harbor at nightfall to prevent everyone from escaping the island. However, before he was able to issue the orders, he was assassinated by Edward Kenway.
Later that night, Chamberlaine's blockade was destroyed when Kenway and his fellow pirates, Charles Vane and Jack Rackham, launched a retrofitted fireship into its centre, allowing the pirates to effect their escape.
