Here’s what little I could find:
Aylett, Captain (English)(d.1669) - died when Henry Morgan’s ship exploded.

and
“I was eating my dinner with the rest,” writes the surgeon, Richard Browne, “when the mainmasts blew out, and fell upon Captains Aylett, Bigford, and others, and knocked them on the head; I saved myself by getting astride the mizzenmast.” It seems that out of the whole ship only Morgan and those who sat on his side of the table were saved.
