PORT ROYAL//JAMAICA//1720-11-18
Jack Rackham, also known as Calico Jack, served under Captain Charles Vane until he accused Vane of cowardice and replaced him as captain following a popular vote in November 1718.
At that time, British authorities were vehemently chasing down pirates, and Captain Calico Jack and his crew were captured and put on trial. All of the men in Calico Jack's crew were condemned to death, including Charles Vane.
Jack Rackham was hanged on November 18, 1720, and his corpse was displayed at the harbor in Port Royal, as a warning to pirates throughout the Caribbean.
