Abstract

The article presents a biography of Charles Vane, an English pirate who lived at the turn of the 17th and 18th century. It mainly describes his adventures on the troubled waters of the Caribbean Sea. Yet, for a better understanding of the very times and the reality in which he lived, a political situation in the Antilles in the period stated and the specificity of the Caribbean piracy is explained there, too.
