Olivier de Vasseur - The Seychelles Pirate Treasure Chart

and, in the storys that float about on this occurance with the cassandra and england, there is mention of a one legged pirate who stuck up for mcrae when he went to deal with the pirates...his name was jimmy ward...originally a cook aboard the "pembroke castle" it transpires that mcrae helped him out years ago in honduras when 5 drunk spanish were attacking him.

the question i know have is the elusive john taylor...was he actually john taylor or was he tom burke?

viceroy goa ericeira had commenced building the fort of capora, 1717.
(had he a cross he was saving for it? rather than give it to his successor who completed it in his admistration?)

the fortress of cabo is estimated to be approx 1540
the chapel eventually built within it was to the blessed virgin mary
under the invocution of "nossa senhora de cabo" (where the ships name originated?)or has as story progresses through time been blended?

hi cptevil,
thanks for the link, as far as i am aware, it gives an account of her living with a pirate, and amongst pirates, her relationship with him if you could call it that....but in the end they became close.she left mauritius right after he was hanged and moved back to france.
the author wrote it from papers found in france i think, and put it more or less in the orginal writers words , plus the author used the owners name, as it was her story.
it is only published in german at the moment.recently released.

	At a guess, about 3,700,000. More information on the Jewel would be usefull.

THE ROSE OF PARADISE
"Being a detailed account of certain adventures that happened to captain MacKre,in connection with the famous pirate, Edward England,in the year 1720,off the island of Juana in the Mozambique Channel, writ by himself,and now for the first time published"

by Howard Pyle
copyright 1887
published 1888 harper & brothers

"although the account of the serious engagement betwixt the cassandra and the two pirate vessels in the mozambique channel hath already been set to print, the publick have yet to know many lesser and more detailed circumstances in the matter.
(a brief narration of the naval engagement between captain mackra and the two pirate vessels was given in the captains official report made at bombay. it appears in the life of pirate england in johnson`s book ..."A genuine account of the voyages and plunders of the most notorious pyrates & c london 1742"

I have a friend who had a disk with some info on Le Buzz, but think it could be hard to track down.
  Will try to find out where he has it or if he knows where it maybe!
