Moses Cohen Henriques Eanes was a Sephardic pirate, operating in the Caribbean.
Henriques Eanes helped Dutch naval officer and folk hero Admiral Piet Pieterszoon Hein, of the Dutch West India Company, capture the Spanish treasure fleet in the battle of the Bay of Matanzas in Cuba, during the Eighty Years' War, in 1628.
Moses Cohen Henriques in 1632[]
As in the OTL, Moses Cohen Henriques had an island base off the coast of Brazil. In 1634, this base provided a staging area for the Dutch evacuation of Recife. After the evacuation, he was given a letter of marque by Maarten Tromp, and became one of the people who provided Tromp with information about what was happening in the Caribbean.
