John Rackham was one of the least succesful pirates from the so-called Golden Age. In spite of his unimpressive track record, he is one of the most remembered, and appears in some beloved games and movies, like Assassin's Creed, and of course, Black Sails. I don't think we should only remember the pirates who had "succesful" careers, whatever that means anyway. John Rackham is important to remember, because he was an abject failure. It gives us an insight into what it was like, for most pirates, especially during this time period. Modern sources: Dictionary of Pyrate Biography - Baylus C.
