Edward Dempster

Edward Dempster (fl. 1667-1669) was a buccaneer and privateer active in the Caribbean. He is best known for his association with Henry Morgan. Dempster received a commission as a privateer from Governor of Jamaica Thomas Modyford in 1667. Sailing his frigate Relief against the Spanish under his privateering commission, he captured the ship Nuestra Seora de la Concepción y San José off Campeche. His prize was confirmed upon his return to Jamaica, where the ship and its cargo were sold to future Governor Hender Molesworth. It was renamed Crescent and sent back to England, where the Spanish ambassador lodged a complaint and requested its return.
