Welcome back to Bloomin’ Legends! The podcast where we uncover the wildest, most legendary, and unbelievable true stories from history!

In this episode, Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods set sail into the outrageous life of Jack Ward—the English sailor-turned-pirate who went rogue, terrorized the Mediterranean, and pulled off one of the strangest transformations in pirate history.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

🏴‍☠️ From Navy Man to Notorious Pirate – How Jack Ward abandoned England and became the most feared corsair on the seas

⚔️ A Life of Raiding, Drinking & Outlaws – The wild exploits that made him legendary (and wanted by nearly everyone)

🕌 The Pirate Who Became a Muslim Prince – How he shocked the world by converting to Islam and ruling in North Africa

🎭 The Inspiration for Captain Jack Sparrow? – Why some say he was the real-life model for the iconic pirate

Bloomin’ Legend or Not?

At the end of the episode, we decide: Was Jack Ward a true Bloomin’ Legend? Or just a drunken rogue who got lucky?
