Joseph Bradley (buccaneer)

Joseph Bradley was an English buccaneer active in the Caribbean in around 1670.[1] He died during the capture of Fort San Lorenzo.

Gulf Campaign (1669-1670)

Bradley aided Roche Braziliano and Jelles de Lescat in a campaign against the Spanish around the Laguna de Términos in the spring of 1669. Bradley was the only to capture a ship, a Cuban vessel with a cargo of flour.[2] Bradley and Braziliano returned to blockade the town of Campeche that summer.[3]

Panama Campaign (1670-1671)

In August 1670, Bradley sailed with Braziliano and de Lescat to join Henry Morgan's campaign in Panama. Morgan sent Bradley's Mayflower and two other ships (with a force of 400 men) to capture Fort San Lorenzo which guarded the mouth of the Chagres river and the city of Chagres.[3]

Although Bradley and 100 of his men died during the attack, it left Chagres unprotected and vulnerable to Morgan's fleet allowing them to capture the city.[4]
