Wydah
Captained by: Samuel “Black Sam” Bellamy
Sailed: C. 1715
This ship was built with the intent of being a slave trading ship out of London. At 300-tonnes, this bad boy could reach a stunning 13-knots when the conditions were right. However, famed pirate Sam Bellamy had no intention of letting the ship remain a slave carrying vessel. He captured it in 1717 and equipped it with 28 cannons for his crew of 146 to use at their will. The ship had stolen from nearly 50 other ships before it met an unfortunate end at the hands of a terrible storm some months later.
