February 14 - Quite a few things happened on St. Valentines Day over the years... On this day in 1683, Abraham Cowley (aka William Ambrose, a Sailing master)    wrote in his diary: "We were choosing valentines and discoursing on the Intrigues of Women, when there arose a prodigious storm [which lasted two weeks on end and drove his ship farther South than any ship had ever been before] so that we concluded the discoursing of Women at sea was very unlucky and occasioned the storm." Cowley was a graduate of Cambridge University serving as sailing master in the ship Revenge under command of John Cook, sailing from the Chesapeake bound for the South Seas. . . . Edward Davis,    was a buccaneer from Vlaanderen in the Republic of the United Netherlands.    He operated with John Eaton but he left because Davis insisted on a larger share in the loot. Davis continued cruising along the coasts of Chili and Peru, sacked towns and captured Spanish vessels, but his general plan was to waylay the treasure galleons from Peru to Panama. On 22 October, 1684 encountered Swan’s Cygnet and a smaller vessel under Peter Harris.    Then on this day in 1685, after having crossed the Darien Isthmus, 200 French and 80 English adventurers reached Davis’s squadron.    Davis gallantly handed over a recently taken galleon to the French gentlemen, dividing the English over Bachelor’s Delight and Swan’s Cygnet. . . . L’Escuyer, aka L’Escayer aka Lescuier aka Lequie was a Filibuster from Fance.    In January 1685 he served in command of a small ship with six guns and five swivel guns that sailed in the West Indies in company with Andriesz in his Mutiny of with Brouage’s Neptune, Le Garde’s brigantin Galant, the Captains Roze and Vigneron in their vessels. He sacked Paita and Guayaquil in company of Grogniet, Davis and Swan in the Pacific, after having arrived with 280 filibusters in a massive pirate invasion on the Westcoast of Panama on this day in 1685. He later suffered defeat at Quibo but was rescued by Townley.      He then sailed with the latter and again sacked Guayaquil. L’Escuyer, with Grogniet, plundered Granada in Nicaragua but gaining no profits from the town (the inhabitants having taken their valuables to an island in Lake Nicaragua), they burned the town in March of 1686. He died shortly after the company arrived at the Pearl Islands. His crew merged with Grogniet and later Edward Davis. . . . Also on this day in 1688, following a 1,000 mile march overland, Raveneau de Lussan and his followers embark on an English lugger bound for Santo Domingo. . . . José Almeyda of Portugal, who lived with wife and eight children in North America, and was active in the wars of independence in the Spanish Main, was arrested in December 1827 and executed for piracy on this day in 1832 at San Juan, Puerto Rico.
