Nathaniel North
Nathaniel North (ca. 1671 - ca. 171?) was a Bermuda-born pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy, operating in the Indian Ocean under John Bowen and then as captain of the ''Defiant'' following Bowen's retirement in 1704. After losing the ''Defiant'' he ruled a pirate colony at Ambonaivo made up of his former crew before returning to sea. Retiring with great wealth in 1709, North settled in Rajapura and married a local girl, but was murdered by her family.
==Early life==
In 1689 North was a crewman aboard an English privateer attacking French shipping during the War of the Grand Alliance. He was impressed into the Royal Navy but made his way to Jamaica. There he again met British press gangs, but escaped by jumping overboard and swimming to shore. By 1696 North was a crewman in a band of privateers who captured the 18-gun Brigantine called ''Pelican'' off Newfoundland. While the privateer obtained a commission to attack French holdings in West Africa, they instead travelled to Madagascar where they searched for Moor ships to take. When they failed to find any ships, the ''Pelican'' instead raided villages on the Comoro Islands.
Upon returning to Madagascar, North was elected quartermaster by the crew. The ''Pelican'' then joined Dirk Chivers and Robert Culliford and the three ships together captured the ''Great Mohammed''. Chivers and Culliford however refused to share the spoils from the ''Great Mohammed'', claiming that the ''Pelican'' had not taken part in the battle. Following this event, the ''Pelican'' left the trio and later captured three small ships, keeping one and renaming her ''Dolphin''. Damaged caused to both ships in a hurricane forced a return to Madagascar, where the plunder was divided, with each of the pirates receiving around £700.
