  1. 1:34:18 technically Henry Every did when he captured Ganj-i-Sawai which was a 62 gun ship, this was when his ship a 46 gun ship so still substantial and a few other ships attacked it on it's way to Mecca laden with treasure. How they won was sort of by accident as one of the guns on the Ganj-i-Sawai exploded and that really turned the tide of the fight to the pirates. Henry Every acquired his original ship through mutiny the ship not being naval, but part of a privately owned fleet that was planning to salvage gold from sunken ships. The plan went completely wrong, when the ships were unable to leave a Spanish port and eventually Henry Every and some men mutined and sailed off. How did the world react they were much more interested in the treasure they had captured.
