Born around 1680 in England, Rackham made a name for himself by welcoming two women pirates to sail with him — one of whom he married. In 1718, Rackham started as the quartermaster for Charles Vane.
Jacquotte Delahaye (fl. 1656) was a purported pirate of legend in the Caribbean Sea. She has been depicted as operating alongside Anne Dieu-le-Veut as one of very few 17th-century female pirates. There is no evidence from period sources that Delahaye was a real person.
At the time of her surrender, she personally commanded 24 ships and over 1,400 pirates. She died in 1844 at the age of about 68, having lived a relatively peaceful and prosperous life since the end of her career in piracy. Zheng Yi Sao has been described as history's most successful female pirate and one of the most successful pirates in history.
