Rise of the English Sea Dogs and Dutch Corsairs: 1580-1650

Hendrik Brouwer was a privateer who fought the Habsburgs during the Dutch revolt, holding the city of Castro, Chile hostage for a period of two months.

The first man to intentionally circumnavigate the globe, Thomas Cavendish also raided numerous Spanish towns and ships in the New World.

Uluj Ali was an Italian-born Muslim corsair, who later became an Ottoman admiral and Chief Admiral (Kaptan-ı Derya) of the Ottoman Fleet in the 16th century.

Known as "el Draque" (the Dragon), Sir Francis Drake was considered a hero in England, but little more than a pirate in Spain.

After serving as a Spanish galley slave for four years, Piet Hein later captured 11,509,524 guilders of cargo from the Spanish treasure fleet.

Grace O'Malley (left of frame) was an important figure in Irish legend who is still present in popular culture today.

Age of the Buccaneers: 1650-1690

Although Jean Bart was born the son of a fisherman, he was able to retire as an Admiral in French service on the strength of his captures during his time as a privateer.

William Dampier was the first Englishman to explore or map parts of New Holland (Australia) and New Guinea, and was also the first person to circumnavigate the world three times.

A lifelong sailor, Richard Hawkins was initially a privateer (and pirate) in English service, and was later a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy.

Known only for a single attack against a Spanish galleon (pictured), Pierre le Grand's existence is disputed.

Henry Morgan was a privateer (and pirate) who later retired to become Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.

François l'Ollonais was nicknamed "Flail of the Spaniards" and had a reputation for brutality – offering no quarter to Spanish prisoners.

Roche Braziliano had a reputation for violence, and once roasted two Spanish farmers when they refused to hand over their pigs.

Golden Age of Piracy: 1690-1730

The most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, Black Bart was estimated to have captured more than 470 vessels.

With his fearsome appearance, Blackbeard is often credited with the creation of the stereotypical image of a pirate.

Despite never commanding a ship herself, Anne Bonny is remembered as one of few female historical pirates.

Henry Every (or Avery) is famous as one of the few pirates of the era who was able to retire with his takings without being either arrested or killed in battle.

Although modern historians dispute the legitimacy of his trial and execution, the rumour of Captain Kidd's buried treasure has served only to build a legend around the man as a great pirate.

Nicknamed "la Buse" (the Buzzard) for the speed with which he attacked his targets, Olivier Levasseur left behind a cryptic message that has yet to be deciphered fully today.
