Joseph Bannister, English Pirate

Joseph Bannister (flourished 1680s) was an English pirate, best known for defeating two Royal Navy warships in battle. He became captain of Golden Fleece and was tasked with making transatlantic voyages, delivering goods on the profitable route between London and Jamaica. In 1684, Bannister ran away with the ship and its thirty to forty guns, picked up a hundred men to serve as his crew, and began his career as a pirate. He robbed a Spanish ship, was captured, but before the trial could occur, he made a daring midnight escape. He was eventually recaptured in 1687, taken back to Jamaica and publicly hanged.
