When did an English pirate who operated in the Atlantic and Indian oceans in the mid-1690s command Fancy?
Fancy (ship) Fancy was Henry Every's ship, and was commanded by him between May 1694 to late 1695, when he retired from piracy and the fate of "Fancy" becomes unknown.
HMS Indian (1805) HMS "Indian" was a Bermuda-built sloop launched in 1805. She captured two small privateers while on the West Indies and Halifax stations before the Royal Navy sold her in 1817. Her main claim to fame, however, is that she was the first command of future Rear-Admiral Charles Austen, who was also the brother of the famed novelist Jane Austen. Still, after the Navy sold her she became a whaler for Samuel Enderby & Sons. She apparently sailed for them until the mid-1830s; she then sailed for other owners until mid-1847, for a total of nine whaling voyages since leaving naval service.
