Charles Vane
Charles Vane (c.1680 – March 29, 1721) was an English pirate who preyed upon English and French shipping. His pirate career lasted from 1716 to 1719. His flagship was a brigantine named the ''Ranger''.
Vane was among the pirate captains who operated out of the notorious base at New Providence in the Bahamas known as the "Pirates' republic", after the British abandoned the colony during the War of the Spanish Succession. He was captured in 1721 after a relatively long and violent career in piracy, and was executed by hanging at Gallows Point, Port Royal, Jamaica.
== Pirate career ==
===Serving under Henry Jennings===
Charles Vane's history is not well documented, but he most likely started his career aboard one of Lord Archibald Hamilton's privateers. He arrived in Port Royal sometime during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714). In 1716, he began serving under the infamous pirate Henry Jennings. In late July 1715, a Spanish treasure fleet was hit by a hurricane off the coast of Florida, dumping tons of Spanish gold and silver not far from shore. The surviving Spanish sailors salvaged what they could while pirates made a beeline for the wreck site. Jennings (with Vane on board) was one of the first to reach the site, and his buccaneers raided the Spanish camp on shore, making off with some £87,000 in recovered gold and silver.
