Privateer Ship Names

[Rabbitz]

G'Day from the Land Downunder,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a resource that has a list of Privateers ship names.

I am looking for a historical list rather than "suggested name for a boat" list.

Many Thanks

[Captain Every]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a resource that has a list of Privateers ship names.

I am looking for a historical list rather than "suggested name for a boat" list.

Captain Every's man-of-war was named "Fancy", being originally "Charles", the privateer of the Spanish Expedition. It's sometimes said that it was "Charles II", but I never managed to understand if it was true. Every's pirate squadron (1695) consisted of: W.Want's "Dolphin", J.Farrell's "Portsmouth Adventure", W.May's "Pearl" ans T.Tew's "Amity", and one which name I don't know (do anybody?).

The Lady Washington was also a privateer during the American Revolution, although at the time I believe she was just called "Washington". This name was probably a reference to a family as many Washingtons were wealthy and influential and ol' George was still daydreaming about a commission in the British Army when she was built...
