Although little is known of Jennings' early life, he was first recorded as a privateer during the 1701-1714 War of the Spanish Succession[citation needed] operating from Jamaica, then governed by Lord Archibald Hamilton. There is evidence that Jennings owned enough land in Jamaica to live comfortably, thus leaving his motivations for piracy to conj...
On 31 July 1715, all 11 vessels of the 1715 Treasure Fleet, a large Spanish treasure fleet heading out from Havana, wrecked in a hurricane along the coasts of Florida near Cape Canaveral. News of the wreck and their distress call reached Jamaica in November 1715, and Jennings and his ship Bersheba sailed immediately to the Florida coast. Jennings a...
The New Providence capital of Nassau by 1715 was the former capital of the collapsed Bahamian government.

Jennings and the crews remained in Jamaica until the end of February.

Departure and first captures in April
Jennings in April 1716 set out from Bluefield’s Bay in Jamaica in his sloop Bersheba, along with a fleet of ships. His intention was to fish the Spanish wrecks, moving up from the Isle of Pines to Florida. They left Bluefields on the morning of 9 March, regrouping a few days later at Isla de los Pinos near Cuba. They rounded Cape Corrientes on 2 April. The following day, off the coast of Cuba, Bersheba spotted Sam Bellamy and Paulsgrave Williams, who were looting a ship. The two pirate captai...
Capture of the Marianne and Mary
A sailing canoe later approached the St. Marie to trade while the crew was dividing spoils, and Jennings' then "inflicted punishments" on the new captives to locate their larger vessel. When he went off to find the Marianne, he found that Hornigold had already commandeered the ship. Jennings set sail afterwards, ordering all vessels to chase Hornigold down. The crew of the newly captured St. Marie, however, lagged behind the other ships, and the rest of the fleet was out of sight by the time...
Capture of Hornigold's ship and Nassau
After the raid on the Marianne, Jennings, Ashworth, and another captain set sail for New Providence, an island in the Bahamas and former capital of the collapsed Bahamian government. On the way to New Providence, Jennings chased down Hornigold to secure the treasure from the Mary, a ship Hornigold had just captured. Reaching New Providence about 22 April 1716, Jennings used the island as a base to split the French spoils. According to Jennings’ quartermaster, there was some dispute on how the...
Jennings continued to sail for the wrecks in Florida after his raids on the French, stopping ships such as Spanish mailboats along the way. In April 1716, the Spanish salvagers had left the site of Jennings' first two attacks, and Jennings returned again to the site, this time leading efforts to recover more sunken treasure. After political pressur...
Pirate governor of New Providence, 1716
Declared a pirate by Lord Archibald Hamilton, Jennings couldn't return to Jamaica, and so he established Nassau as his base for further raids on Spanish wrecks. Also evicted from the mainland of Jamaica, many pirates followed Jennings’ example and headed for New Providence. Nassau's pirate population grew from dozens to hundreds after the Florida shipwreck raids, and by early 1716, the Governor of Bermuda stated that there were over 1000 pirates in Nassau and that they outnumbered the mere hu...
Capture of Hamilton's ship, late 1716
Hamilton was arrested in October 1716 for the crime of violating treaties with the Spanish, and he left Jamaica on about 22 September to England, accompanied by a fleet of seventeen ships. The ships were afterwards separated by wind. On the journey in November 1716, the governor’s ship, Hamilton Galley with Captain Stone, was captured by Jennings with 134 men. They kept Stone for four days, but were recorded as having taken only twenty gallons of rum. Stone later related that his captors "tre...
