There's something intoxicating about Pirates. Quickly amassing riches they didn't earn, being free and answering to no one.
Nobody embraced that life more than Captain Henry Every. An English Pirate famous for every Pirate's dream... One big score.
Legend has it that Capt. Every refused to attack English ships for their booty. At the time he was hailed as a more savage Robin Hood... but the legend was wrong. No crew was safe.
In July 1695, Capt. Every single-handedly created "The Golden Age Of Piracy" by stealing the treasure of 2 Indian ships.
Everyone's a haul of loot put him on the 'Rich List' of his day. He took in more earnings from those 2 ships than his rivals (Blackbeard & Calico Jack) did in their entire lifetimes... COMBINED.
He was said to have retired to a private Island, what we now know is Madagascar, with 40 warships and 15,000 loyal crew. Melting his treasure to destroy all evidence.
