Flying Gang
The Flying Gang was the name given to the pirates based at Nassau in the Bahamas between about 1716 and 1718, the period known as the Republic of Pirates. Its members included Benjamin Hornigold, Edward Teach (Blackbeard), Charles Vane, Sam Bellamy and Calico Jack. The community broke up after Woodes Rogers arrived as royal governor in 1718 with a pardon, which many of them accepted.
