Bartholomew Roberts and his pirate crew in…

February 1720 CE

Bartholomew Roberts and his pirate crew in the Fortune are joined by the French pirate Montigny la Palisse in another sloop, the Sea King, in late February 1720.

The inhabitants of Barbados have equipped two well-armed ships, the Summerset and the Philipa, to try to put an end to the pirate menace.

They encounter the two pirate sloops on February 26.

The Sea King quickly flees, and the Fortune, after sustaining considerable damage, breaks off the engagement and is able to escape.
