Pirates Plunders Areas Definition of Piracy The Difference between Pirates and Privateers The Buccaneers Torture ... Links The Definition of Piracy According to the Shorter Oxford dictionary piracy is robbery, kidnapping, or violence at sea or from the sea without lawful authority. Piracy can also be the illegal copying of software, music, and other music. However, I will only be discussing piracy at sea. The Difference Between Pirates and Privateers A pirate is a person who randomly attacks random ships for personal gain. However, a privateer is a person commissioned to attack ships by a country. England hired privateers to attack gold laden Spanish ships in an effort to cripple the Spanish treasury. Usually privateers are given safe harbor by the country in exchange for about 1/5 to 1/2 of the money obtained from the attack. The Buccaneers "Buccaneers were French settlers in the Caribbean who used to barbecue or 'smoke' wild boar and oxen. Boucanier literally means ' one who hunts wild pork'. It is a term used to describe pirates and privateers who had their roots in the Caribbean.(Pirates of the Caribbean, 3)".

Types of Pirates Pirates are often characterized as "Buccaneers", "Privateers" and "Corsairs". It is important to note that these terms have different historical origin and a different meaning. Buccaneers Buccaneer was a title applied to English, Dutch, and French seafaring adventurers of the 17th century. The term "Buccaneer" was derived from their practice of raiding Hispaniola (today known as Dominica and Haiti) and stealing pigs and cattle from the Spanish plantations. The meat of the stolen cattle was dried and cured on grills, called "boucan" in French, in a way they had learned from the Arawak Indians. The buccaneers traded the smoked meat for goods and gunpowder. When colonial governors tried to stop the trade, the buccaneers joined forces with local runaway slaves, deserters and practically anyone who hated the Spanish, and turned to the sea - and to piracy. The buccaneers established their headquarters on the little island of Tortuga . Later they used Jamaica as a base of operations. One of the most famous buccaneers was Sir Henry Morgan . Under his command 500 buccaneers from Tortuga and 1000 buccaneers from Jamaica captured Panama in 1671.

T he "Golden Age of Piracy" only lasted 30 years, from the late 1600s through the early 1700s. But, what a time! Tales of adventure and brutality, wild skirmishes and buried treasure, fleets of Spanish galleons carrying hoards of gold, and notables held for ransom on desert islands. M any of the traits of pirates, such as eye patches and pet parrots were inventions of writers and illustrators, to make their subjects more gruesome and mysterious. T here is little, if any, written record of anyone being made to "walk the plank." A lthough it is thought that pirate ships flew black flags, or red flags to signify that no mercy would be shown, this writer cannot imagine why a marauding crew would want to announce their intention. Surely, resistence would only be increased. Pirate ships probably sailed with as little identification as possible. O n the other hand, the "skull and crossbones" may have been fact flags used by pirates were designed to strike fear into sailors so they would surrender their ship without a fight, and in these days of non-existent anesthetics and butcher-like surgery, dis-membered body parts were fearsome, indeed.

Piracy One of the most predominant myths about pirates is the belief that they were all a bunch of evil men completely lacking in any moral standards or beliefs. This was simply not true. Yes some pirates were rapists and murders, and some were truly sadistic killers. But most pirates were not much different in their moral beliefs then the other sailors of their time. Some worked as privateers and some on military ships before becoming pirates. Furthermore, not all buccaneers volunteered to serve as pirates of their choosing. Some were pressed men who were forced into serving when their ships were captured by pirates. Other men were abducted in ports and forced to join the pirates crew. (Note: Abducting seamen in ports to serve aboard naval warships was also a common practice in the military back then. As was the use of black slaves to do some of the back breaking manual labor and dangerous tasks aboard ship.) The majority of pirates were by nature rebellious and lazy. However they took their work quite seriously, and in most cases before a crew would sail off on a voyage, a set of written articles was drawn up which every member of the ships company was expected to sign. These articles regulated the distribution of plunder among the crew, the scale of compensation for injuries received in battle, and set out the basic rules for shipboard life and the punishments for those who broke the rules. The written articles varied from one ship to another but most were generally very similar. These articles were well needed as pirates were tough and ruthless men, notorious for their foul language, and prolonged bouts of drinking, which frequently led to quarrels and violence. They came together in a rather uneasy partnership, attracted by the lure of plunder and the desire for an easy life.

Return to Notorious Places of Pyrate Lore Tortuga or Turtle Island , presently known as Ile de la Tortue and located off the Northwest shore of present day Haiti, on the Island of Hispanola , not to be confused with Isle Tortuga, a modern day island owned by Venezuela or the Dry Tortugas owned by the United States. Tortuga is approximately 20 miles long and no more than 4 miles wide. Tortuga was first discovered and named by the Spanish. The name Tortuga means Sea Turtle and the island is located just a few miles off the shore of Hispanola, the first island of the New World believed discovered by Columbus. Despite its immediate proximity to Hispanola, the French decided to establish a settlement of sorts on the island in 1625. Most of the settlers come from the Nearby French colonies of St. Kitts and Nevis. The Spaniards weren't really happy with these French settlers in their backyard and tried to dislodge them. The first of these attacks was in 1629 and was only marginally successful. Many of the colonists were the true buccaneers, the hunters of wild oxen and pigs. Rather than fight the Spaniards in open combat, they fled across the narrow channel and began hunting on the northern coast of Hispanola. To make matters worse, the Spaniards built a fort on Tortuga after they chased away the French. Realizing they had only chased them over to Hispanola, the Spaniards left the fort with a small garrison to protect it and headed off in pursuit of the Buccaneers. This was a bad idea. The lightly held fort was easily taken by the Buccaneers in a counter attack, and the French set about improving the fortifications. The island would remain a French colony from then on, despite repeated attacks by the Spaniards.
