Description: Calico Jack’s Public House opened their doors in Falmouth, Jamaica way back in 1763, though at the time of their opening, the establishment was simply called The Falmouth Public House. The tavern was allegedly founded by the son of famed pirate, John "Jack" Rackham, more commonly known as Calico Jack. W. Calvin Bonny was the offspring of Calico Jack and Anne Bonny, one of the few female pirates in recorded history. The spoils of her piracy days under Calico Jack are what afforded Calvin to return to the bustling port of Falmouth and open his tavern that would pass to his son and then grandson before being renamed Calico Jack’s Public House some time in the 1800s after the reality of piracy had been transposed with romance and excitement.
