Piracy is defined as: a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, by an agent without a commission from a sovereign nation.
John Rackham (b. December 21, 1682 in London - died November 17, 1720 in Jamaica), also known as Calico Jack Rackham or Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the colorful calico clothes he wore. John Rackham is remembered for employing two of the most notorious female pirates of his time – Anne Bonny and Mary Read – in his crew. John Rackham and his crew were executed in Jamaica. Captured and hanged, his body was hung in a cage on display on a very small island at a main entrance to Port Royal, Jamaica as a warning to other pirates. Calico Jack flew the Jolly Roger with a skull and two crossed swords abord his ship called “Revenge”.
Cache is a white 35 mm film cannister.
