Books, Manuscripts
The first 50 years of John Ward's life were those of an ordinary seaman. But, in 1603, he celebrated his half-century by leading a mass desertion from the Navy of James I, stealing a vessel, & defecting to the Ottoman Empire's outpost at Tunis. There he set himself up as a privateer under the protection of the Pasha of Tunis.
