THE FLAG OF PIRATE HENRY EVERY

John Avery, Long Ben, Benjamin Bridgeman, are just some of his aliases. By all accounts Every was the most highly renowned pirate of his time. Books and plays were written about his life (or what many supposed it to be in their romanticized way). Yet for all his celebrity and the uncertainty some accounts, most sources say that he died in poverty. Henry Every , the ‘arch pirate’ was born in the west of England near Plymouth in Devonshire and was one of the most famous pirates sailing the West Indias.
