HistorySix prisoners - "Edmund Williams, George Caves, George Cole alias Sanders, Edward Edwards, Jeremiah Smith and Mary Critchett"[1] - were transported from England to Virginia in late 1728 to work off their sentences.[2] On 12 May 1729 they escaped and overpowered the two-man crew of the sloop John and Elizabeth.[2] Critchett held the prisoners in the ship's hold, sitting on the hatch to prevent their escape.[3] They released the pair a few days later over Critchett's objections, who feared the two would alert the authorities.[2] The pirates sailed into Chesapeake Bay but before they could raid any other ships, they were captured by the HMS Shoreham under Captain Long.[3] Returned to Virginia, they were tried in August 1729 in Williamsburg, convicted of piracy, and sentenced to hang.[4] See also
