[Capt.B]

In 1610 John Guy founded a settlement at Cupid's, Conception Bay. However, there were already settlers in the region, most notably the "Pirate Admiral" Peter Easton and up to 5000 pirate sailors who served under him, at various times.

The "Pirate Admiral" Peter Easton plied Newfoundland waters (circa 1600-1620).When he first arrived in Newfoundland, in 1602, Peter Easton was a loyal English seaman and officer.

In the late sixteenth century, Peter Easton served as a privateer for the English and against the Spanish. However, in 1603 King James succeeded Queen Elizabeth to the throne of England, the sporatic warfare with Spain ceased and the English navy was disbanded.

It was at this time that Easton turned to piracy, plying the North American eastern seaboard, from the Caribbean to Newfoundland and as far west as the Azores. In 1610 Peter Easton established a fort at Harbour Grace and used Newfoundland as his base of operations until 1614

[Black Jack]

It was Sir Francis Drake, he was a privateer, in 1580 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and the made Mayor of Plymouth. What he did was to defeat the Spanish Fleet.
