62. Barrie Gosse, Philip. History of Piracy. This book draws from many earlier sources togive vivid narratives of buccaneers, privateers, and just plain pirates. http://www.piratehunter.info/pirateweb4.htm

Barrie, J.M. Peter Pan . Captain Hook is a make-believe pirate, but a memorable one! If you think this book is just for little kids, think again. You have to be a little older to see the real terror and the real humor here. Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan. Tales of Pirates and Blue Water . The creator of Sherlock Holmes was fond of sea stories, and this is a collection of his own pirating tales. Gardner, Cliff. Black Caesar, Pirate . Henri Caesar was a real person. Beginning his career as a slave in Haiti, he becomes the terror of the seas as a pirate in this fictional version of his career. Larson, Bjorn. Long John Silver . Translated from the Swedish, this is a fictional "autobiography" of Robert Louis Stevenson's Long John Silver, telling us about all his adventures before and after Treasure Island. O'Brian, Patrick. Master and Commander. Patrick O'Brian wrote some twenty novels about the staunch English captain John Aubrey and his ship's surgeon, the secretive Stephen Maturin. These are not easy books, and they only occasionally deal with pirates, but for anyone who loves the sea, they're a real treasure. Sabatini, Rafael.

Introduction Pirates have been a familiar hazard at sea for centuries, from the Phoenicians and Vikings who regarded piracy as normal practice, to the end of the 17th and early-18th centuries, when piracy was at its peak around the West Indies and South America. Privateers were privately owned vessels, armed with guns, operating in time of war. They were issued with letters of marque by the Admiralty, authorising them to capture merchant vessels without being prosecuted for piracy.

Whitewater Pirates The Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd Everybody knows the legend of Captain Kidd, America’s most ruthless buccanneer. Few people realize that the facts of his life make for a much better tale. Kidd was actually a tough New York sea captain hired to chase pirates, a married war hero whose secret mission took a spectacularly bad turn. This harrowing tale traces Kidd’s voyages in the 1690s from his home near Wall Street to Whitehall Palace in London, from the ports of the Caribbean to a secret pirate paradise off Madagascar. Author Richard Zacks, during his research, also unearthed the story of a long forgotten rogue named Robert Culliford, who dogged Kidd and led Kidd’s crew to mutiny not once but twice. The lives of Kidd and Culliford play out like an unscripted duel: one man would hang in the harbor, the other would walk away with the treasure. Filled with superb writing and impeccable research, The Pirate Hunter is both a masterpiece of historical detective work and a ripping good yarn, and it delivers something rare: an authentic pirate story for grown-ups.

70. The Privateer Sabine In this lesson we are going to explore the differences between four types of seafaringscoundrels. They are pirates, privateers, buccaneers, and marooners. http://home.tampabay.rr.com/claviger/primer3.htm

Four Kinds of Cutthroats Welcome back mates. In this lesson we are going to explore the differences between four types of seafaring scoundrels. They are pirates, privateers, buccaneers, and marooners. When we are done, you'll know what each of these names mean, you'll understand why the old adage 'once a thief, always a thief' also applies to pirates, and you'll also learn what pirates called themselves. So freshen your drinks, pull up your chairs, and let's begin. There is another factor to consider concerning privateers. To illustrate it I will pirate a sentiment that was expressed by Benjamin Franklin when he was asked about the legality of the American revolution. (Understand that Simon doesn't often pirate the words of others, but Ben's phrasing is exceptional.) Privateers are completely legal in the first person, such as our privateers, it is only in the third person, their privateers, that they become illegal. When you are the victim of a privateer, they are a pirate and nothing more. Spain never recognized or sanctioned privateering as legitimate. All privateers were pirates in the eyes of the Spanish. Spanish dominance and cruelty in the Caribbean is legendary. The buccaneers were a creation of that cruelty. The buccaneers proved impossible for the Spanish to drive off. They began to retaliate against their Spanish oppressors using the tools at their disposal. Remember last week when I told you that it was hard to be a pirate without a ship. The buccaneers are why I did not say that it was impossible. The earliest buccaneer raids were conducted by canoes against Spanish ships moored off the shore of Haiti. The buccaneers, who prided themselves on their ability to hunt the wild pigs of Haiti with nothing but two long daggers, poured over the sides of the Spanish ships in the dark of night and silently killed all aboard. These tactics provided them with ships and from that point they differed only from Pirates in that their targets were almost exclusively Spanish. The marooners had a similar development.

All throughout the ages there has been piracy, no matter what the environmental circumstances and cultural ramifications. There seems to always be room for theft in a capitalistic society, whether it be near water or no, and our infatuation with seventeenth century legend designed to frighten and entertain children is no unique to our culture. Many cultures have used this tactic to enforce cultural practices in their young, and horror stories regarding our current culture will surface more frequently as our times become steeped in mystery and obscurity.

One culture that archaeologists and historians are currently exploring off the coast of North Carolina is that of pirates. Since pirates left no written records of their journeys, researchers hope to find out about their lives by exploring the artifacts from the wrecks of pirate ships. Buried in 7+ meters of WATER (depending on the 3 foot tide), much of it is exposed and on the surface of the sand, another meter or so of wreckage is buried in the sand. Off shore of Beaufort, NC a team of scientists from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources are exploring what is believed to be the Queen Anne's Revenge , better known as Blackbeard's flagship.

75. The UnMuseum - The Golden Age Of Piracy sprang up to satisfy the needs of the buccaneers. of its population consists of pirates,cutthroats, whores and started to depend less on privateers and more http://www.unmuseum.org/pirate.htm

The Golden Age of Piracy The word Pirate brings to mind buried treasure, walking the plank, parrots, cutlasses, black eye patches, wooden legs, pieces of eight, and jolly Roger flags. How close are these images, though, to the real world of pirates? Who were these men and how did they live their lives? Piracy is as old as the history of sailing itself. Some of the earliest pirates were the Phoenicians who plied the Mediterranean from about 2000 B.C.. While the Phoenicians conducted much legitimate trade, they also didn't flinch from attacking other merchant ships or even coastal towns. Later, around 150 B.C. the Cilician pirates from Turkey took control of the Mediterranean until 67 B.C. when the Roman senate ordered Pompey, a brilliant Roman general, to hunt them down. He was successful in clearing the sea of them within three months. Pirates appeared in great number on the Mediterranean again during the Middle Ages. While on land, crusades were conducted by Christian Europeans to get control of the "Holy Land" of the Middle East, held by Muslims, pirates conducted similar battles on the Sea. These pirates, known as the Corsairs, were skilled Muslim and Christian seamen who attacked ships owned by those of the opposing religion. The booty they gained was often the crew and passengers of the ships as well as the cargo. Men and women were sold as slaves or, in the case of those from rich families, ransomed for cash.

Black Flag - Piracy for Re-enactors Brief History A handful of re-enactors met at Kirby Hall. We came from the Viking Society and the Sealed Knot. We like pirates. There was no pirate group in re-enactment. We decided to create one! Aims and Objectives To recreate the lives and careers of - privateers, buccaneers, pirates and militia between the period 1660 to 1730 through living history exhibits and displays. To educate the public as accurately as possible with fun and entertainment. To dispel the myths that surround these colourful characters in maritime history and give the public the truth, which incidentally, is far more interesting than the storybooks that everyone is so familiar with. Period Covered As the period of history we would like to cover is so crammed with characters, geography, aspects of political upheaval and wars, etc. we have decided that 1660 to 1730 is better segmented into two parts. They are as follows:- 1. 1660 to 1699 The Age of the Buccaneers 2. 1699 to 1730 The Golden Age of Piracy 1. 1660 to 1699 The Buccaneers

77. Pirate Books And Reviews Etc. Additional books from my library that I can recommend are ‘The buccaneers’,by Neil Grant (ISBN 0207955832) and ‘pirates and privateers’, by Jeremy http://www.thestorytelling-resource-centre.com/Pirate_Books.html

PIRATE BOOKS. Reviews and Recommendations There are many books available on this subject, both factual and fictional. Most of the factual books rely almost entirely on information obtained from, “ A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the most Notorious Pirates ”, written by Captain Charles Johnson. He was a contemporary of Blackbeard, Bartholomew Roberts, William Kidd etc. and it is thought that his research included interviews with pirate crewmembers. Historians are reasonably satisfied with the basic accuracy of his accounts and allow him his occasional journalistic fancies! For a time, the book was believed to be the work of the Robinson Crusoe author, Daniel Defoe. There are still publications of the title available, which credit Defoe with the authorship, ‘Daniel Defoe’ perhaps being the pseudonym of Charles Johnson, or vice versa. Historians more recently refute that belief, but the controversy continues and makes for another good story! Whoever wrote the book, if you are looking for early accounts of these most famous of pirates, this is a good place to begin. The Pirates Own Book Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates is GREAT! This book also includes many of the well-known names but often in fictionalised situations and sometimes only playing ‘bit’ parts in a fictional character’s adventure. An additional attraction for me lies in the illustrations. Many of them in colour and are familiar, in that Howard Pyle’s pictures have been used to illustrate many other books about pirates. Without doubt, he could claim to be the ‘Arthur Rackham’ of pirate illustrators!

80. Maps The privateers were followed by the buccaneers who also operated with official approvalof The buccaneers were followed by the pirates highwaymen of the http://stranglehold.kagusa.org/pirates/maps.htm

Maps Pirates lived in times when navigation was primitive and printed maps were not widely available. To be successful, pirates had to position themselves across the known trade routes (usually determined by prevailing winds) and after taking a prize, escape to a bolthole, perhaps the massive island of Madagascar or some tiny Caribbean islet. Thus maps and navigational tools and skills were vital and often as valuable as the various other booty on board a captured vessel. Spanish Main 24k jpeg Spain's empire in the New World of North and South America, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, was known as the Spanish main. At first this term applied to the mainland but over the years it came to include the West Indian Islands and the Caribbean waters traversed by the Spanish treasure fleets. Spains rivals were envious of this new-found wealth and land. It was not long before French and English privateers were challenging the might of Spain, striking first at the fleets and then at the settlements. The privateers were followed by the buccaneers who also operated with official approval of French or English governments. The buccaneers were followed by the pirates - highwaymen of the sea operating for their own gain. But as far as the Spanish were concerned they were all pirates. Port Royal Today it is a struggling fishing village but for the 20 years from 1672 - 1692 it was a thriving seaport of some 6500 inhabitants. Residents included: 4 goldsmiths, 125 merchants, 44 tavern keepers, prostitutes, buccaneers and, of course, pirates. Gallows point was the scene of many pirate executions between 1680 and 1830 (notably Calico Jack Rackham in 1720).
