- "A new captain has come to Nassau, & I do not like him. Abel Bramah is his name, & he has the look of a scoundrel about him. I understand the humour what may be found in myself using that term. It is, as they say, the pot calling the kettle black."
- ―Edward Thatch, chronicling his opinion of Bramah in his personal journal, 5 January 1714.[src]
