Jasper Seagar

Jasper Seagar[a] (died 1721) was a pirate active in the Indian Ocean, best known for sailing with Edward England, Olivier Levasseur, and Richard Taylor.

[4] In 1719, pirate Thomas Cocklyn in the Victory put into Madagascar alongside Edward England's Fancy and John Galley.

[3] Off the island of Johanna they engaged the Cassandra under Captain James Macrae (also McCrae or Mackra),[4] who was forced to beach his ship and flee inland but not before heavily damaging the Fancy and killing a number of pirates.

[4] From there they sailed out, repaired the Victory, and in early 1721 captured ships near Mauritius, including Nossa Senhora do Cabo, which carried the Bishop of Goa[7] and the retiring Portuguese Viceroy[4] and netted the pirates immense treasure.

[4] Levasseur captained the Cassandra after Seagar's death, eventually exchanging ships with Taylor[4] who sailed it to the Caribbean and traded it to the governor of Porto Bello for amnesty.
