Duncan Mackintosh

Duncan Mackintosh (died 1689?) was a pirate who cruised the East Indies, the Indian Ocean, and the coast of Africa.

History

Buccaneer John Eaton sailed for the East Indies aboard his ship Nicholas after raiding the Pacific Coast of Spanish South America. There he met with great success looting Chinese, Japanese, and Dutch shipping. They considered marooning some of their prisoners, threatening to feed them to cannibals rumored to inhabit the Andaman Islands. A group of their captives planned to mutiny and retake Good Hope but were discovered and marooned near Sukadana. The remaining crew and Good Hope escaped, the ship being reported back at Madagascar later in 1689 “with a good store of gold and diamonds” but with few crewmen left aboard.
