Captured Moment: Pirate Captain Henry Avery and His Crew Seize the Mughal Ships Ganj-i-Sawai and Fateh Muhammed, 1695 This evocative image captures the daring exploits of notorious 17th-century pirate, Captain Henry Avery, as he led his crew in the seizure of two rich Mughal trading vessels, the Ganj-i-Sawai and its escort, the Fateh Muhammed. The year was 1695, and Avery's ship, the Fancy, had reached the Arabian Sea, a notorious hotbed of piracy and trade. Avery, also known as Every or Avary, was a British pirate who rose to infamy for his audacious raids on the lucrative East India trade routes. In this instance, Avery's crew, with their swords drawn and their eyes on the prize, boarded the Mughal ships, taking control in a matter of moments. The Ganj-i-Sawai, a magnificent vessel laden with precious cargo, was a prize beyond measure. The Mughal Empire, ruled by the Great Mogul, was a major power in the Indian subcontinent during this period. The loss of these ships would have been a significant blow to the empire's economy and prestige. Avery and his crew, on the other hand, stood to gain a fortune in gold, silver, and valuable goods. This image, a testament to the lawlessness of the high seas during the late 1600s, provides a glimpse into the world of piracy and the risks and rewards that came with it. Avery's daring raid on the Mughal ships would go down in history as one of the most successful pirate attacks of the era.
