Mount Baker is named after him. Voyaging with Vancouver Baker is thought to have come from the Welsh border counties.

Wounding the Captain, a William Wheland, the three held him hostage while they discussed how to sell the cargo. As none of the sailors were able to navigate the ship, they accepted an offer from Wheland to sail them to the "Spanish Main" so they could rendezvous with other pirates in order to sell the cargo at a port. Although promising to spare Wheland's life in exchange for sailing the ship to a haven, Baker reportedly bragged to LaCroix and Berrouse that he planned to kill him on ...
