Few pirate ships could match the 5th-rate flagship of Henry Every: The Fancy. Sailing at the head of a 5-ship armada, she dwarfed the lesser sloops and brigantines so common with pirates. Few opponents dared to resist her, and those who did soon faced a brutal 23-gun broadside. Her decks overflowed with battle-hardened scoundrels, expert at the sword and musket alike. With these tools and this ship, the crew of the Fancy sailed halfway around the world and back, taking one of the richest prizes in all of history, and faded into obscurity.
