James Allison (pirate)
James Allison ( fl. 1689-1691) was a pirate and former logwood hauler, active near Cape Verde and the Bay of Campeche. Almost the entire record of Allison's piracy comes from trial records of a single incident, the seizure of the merchantman ''Good Hope''. History The 300-ton, 22-gun trader ''Good Hope'' had been renamed from the ''Fortune of Courland'', which had escaped Boston under suspicion of evading customs laws: in October 1689 the ship was seized, but the sailor put aboard to monitor the ship was thrown overboard. They sailed to Amsterdam later that year; by late January 1691 the ''Good Hope'' under Captain Jeremiah Tay arrived at Mayo in the Cape Verde islands to collect salt. In early February they were met by a 35-man sloop flying English flags. The visitor was Captain James Allison who claimed to be from New York, sailing out of South Carolina with a privateering commission against the French. A year earlier, Allison had been cutting logwood in the Bay of Campeche. Tay ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
