81. Famous Pirates By any definition, pirates, privateers or buccaneers really were one and thesame falling upon cargo ships and transferring ownership of goods. http://www.seasale.com/famous_pirates.htm

John Avery Black Sam Bellamy Black Beard Anne Bonny ... Captain Henry Morgan Pirates, as depicted in film and novels, are seen as a cut-throat, peg-legged, parrot toting thugs who pillaged and plundered any ship in its wake. By definition, any robbery or other violent action, for private ends and without authorization by public authority, committed on the seas or in the air outside the normal jurisdiction of any state is classified as piracy. Privateers, on the other hand, were normally commissioned by a state to carry on the attack of enemy ships of commerce for gain. Privateers would receive a portion of the cargo they seized as payment with a portion going back to the "mother" country. Thus, there was really little difference between pirates and privateers, except that the country received a portion of the spoils. It is hard to imagine thinking of Sir Francis Drake as a privateer (or pirate), depending on the political climate in England at the time. With the growth of a regular British navy, the British Admiralty began to discourage privateering because it was more popular and profitable among sailors than was serving in the navy. By any definition, pirates, privateers or buccaneers really were one and the same - falling upon cargo ships and transferring ownership of goods. In fact, most ships carrying cargo from the Americas were thieves themselves, having stripped the Mayans, Caribs, Aztecs and Incas of their wealth. So where's the morality? Check the crown jewels and royal coffers of any European nation and figure out where it came from.

82. Marrowbone Buccaneers from privateers, who had official government commissions; buccaneers rarely hadvalid commissions. They are also distinguished from the pirates who attacked http://www.mindstate.com/~downisland/html/piracy.htm

To begin, we need to arm you with some necessary knowledge of piracy. Below is a bit of background info and the difference between a Pirate, Privateer and Buccaneer. But first, we the Marrowbone Buccaneers want to gratefully thank Queensland, Australia's Rochedale State School for their comphrensive research into the fascinating realm known as piracy. PIRATES "Piracy", in international law, is the crime of robbery, or other act of violence for private ends, on the high seas or in the air above the seas, committed by the captain or crew of a ship or aircraft outside the normal jurisdiction of any nation, and without authority from any government. The persons who engage in acts of piracy are called "pirates". International treaties and national legislation have sometimes applied the term "piracy" to attacks on the high seas authorized by a government, in violation of international law; to actions by insurgents acting for political purposes; or to violent acts on board a vessel under control of its officers. Such acts, however, are not regarded as piracy under the law of nations. Piracy is distinguished from "privateering" in that the latter is authorized by a belligerent in time of war; privateering was legally abolished by the Declaration of Paris of 1856, but the United States and certain other nations did not assent to the declaration. Piracy is recognized as an offense against the law of nations. It is a crime not against any particular state, but against all humanity. The crime may be punished in the competent tribunal of any country in which the offender may be found, or carried, although the crime may have been committed on board a foreign vessel on the high seas. The essence of piracy is that the pirate has no valid commission from a sovereign state, or from an insurgent or belligerent government engaged in hostilities with a particular state. Pirates are regarded as common enemies of all people. In that nations have an equal interest in their apprehension and punishment, pirates may be lawfully captured on the high seas by the armed vessels of any state and brought within its territorial jurisdiction for trial in its tribunals.

89. Pirates Of The Caribbean Sea By Jaimie Why Are There So Many of the most famous pirates of all, because they had many successful pirates and manydifferent kinds of pirates. buccaneers, corsairs, and privateers will live http://eagleschool.org/sixseven/Galleons/cpgalleonjaimie.htm

Pirates of the Caribbean Sea By Jaimie Why are there so many names for pirates, corsairs, privateers, buccaneers, freebooters, and filibusters? What do they all mean? There are more than three names for pirates, each having a different meaning. The pirates of the Caribbean were no exception, buccaneers, corsairs, and privateers were all names that described pirates of the Caribbean Sea. Pirates is a general term meaning "one who plunders the sea." Corsairs are French pirates. After the buccaneers became pirates, they raided small vessels since they could not match the firepower of the large Spanish galleons. This was to change quickly. Peter le Grande (Peter the Great) was a buccaneer captain who was in command of a small ship of only 28 men. He sailed from Tortuga, the main base of the buccaneers, to Hispanola. When his food was almost out, he spotted a lone Spanish galleon. He waited until nightfall and then boarded the ship. Peter captured the ship within minutes. Onboard the ship was a very large treasure. The age of buccaneering had changed forever, because buccaneers now felt secure attacking large ships. There were other famous buccaneers besides Peter le Grande. One of these was Henry Morgan who was called the prince of buccaneers. He moved to the Americas when he was 20. Then he moved to Port Royal Jamaica, a very lawless town. He bought a ship and captured Porto Bello. This city was a very important trading center. Morgan also captured Panama City which was the most important Spanish city. Henry Morgan was one of the most successful pirates ever because he captured many cities.

web hosting domain names email addresses related sites Historical Perspective Piracy has probably existed since early man first took to the waters. Despite the fact that the ancient Romans referred to the Mediterranean as "Mare Nostrum" (literally "Our Sea"), we know from the historical records that the Roman Empire - even at the height of its power during the Pax Romana - was unable to rid the Mediterranean of pirates, and that even the mighty Julius Caesar was a prisoner of pirates at one time. Piracy in ancient times was principally a matter of maritime kidnapping for ransom. In the Middle Ages, Europe was targeted by two pirate groups: the Vikings and the Muslim pirates. The Vikings or Norsemen were active sea rovers from the Scandinavian region of Europe. The Vikings pillaged western Europe from the eighth to the tenth centuries. Favorite targets of the Vikings were the wealthy monasteries along the French coast and throughout the British Isles. The Vikings also explored the rivers of eastern Europe and eventually made contact with Byzantium (Constantinople / Istanbul) w hich continued to serve as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. Viking explorers of the Atlantic, most notably Lief Ericson, reached the coast of North America some four hundred years before Columbus. The Muslim pirates operated from bases in North Africa. During the Crusades (1095 -1295), Muslim pirates plundered the ships carrying the Crusaders and pilgrims and sold many Christians into slavery. For hundreds of years, the Muslim pirates collected "tribute" as protection against attack from the European powers. Usually, Christian Europe found it easiest just to pay the tribute, but in the early 1800's the newly independent United States fought an undeclared naval war against the "Barbary Pirates" under the slogan of "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!" and the phrase "to the shores of Tripoli" was added to the Marine's battle hymn.

Fact- General History Introduction Ancient Piracy Roman Times Middle Ages Golden Years of Piracy Contemporary Pirates Golden Years of Piracy: Starting in XVI century piracy was gaining in popularity. Thanks to the progress of technology better, bigger and faster ships were built. Colonial expansion was beginning with all the shipping it created carrying gold and other goods. Competing interests and ambitions of colonial powers made it easy for ambitious sailors to always find a way to legalize the most cruel acts of piracy. English privateers could for instance attack and rob, with impunity, Spanish shipping. On the other hand North African pirates had a license to rob English ships and Madagascar pirates of the XVIII century represented French king’s interests. The continually, since ancient times, notorious was so called Barbary Coast , name formerly applied to the coast of North Africa from the western border of Egypt to the Atlantic Ocean. From the 1500s to the 1800s the coast was occupied by independent Islamic states under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire. In the early 1500s, these states became centers for pirates.

96. Pirates In The Bahamas Essentially there was degradation of freebooters from cow catching buccaneersand privateers to down right pirates who eventually made Nassau their home. http://islands.thebahamian.com/pirates.html

Informational page for: Pirates in The Bahamas The Bahamas were a favoured hunting ground of Pirates: It is a well known fact that Nassau and New Providence itself were considered to be a "pirates proven" as declared by the Governor of Cuba in 1684. Essentially there was degradation of freebooters from cow catching buccaneers and privateers to down right pirates who eventually made Nassau their home. The late 1600s through the early 1700s were the notorious age of the pirates. Privateers were distinguished from pirates (but often times worked at different times as both) by plundering enemy ships at the request of their government and sending the booty to their monarch. Pirates were indiscriminate and preyed upon any passing vessel. There were also "wreckers" who would use false "lighthouses" to lure vessels upon the reefs and then reaped the spoils from the stranded ship. The popularity of The Bahamas by pirates was due to the numerous islands and islets with complex shoals and channels providing places for them to hide while waiting to plunder ships. Moreover the islands were within and close to many well traveled shipping lanes such as the Windward Passage. Therefore The Bahamas quickly became favoured to sit and wait passing merchant ships to plunder.

See also piracy in the Caribbean Modern Piracy Piracy in recent times has increased in areas such as South and Southeast Asia (the South China Sea ), parts of South America , and the south of the Red Sea , with pirates now favouring small boats and taking advantage of the small crew numbers on modern cargo vessels. Modern pirates prey on cargo ships who must slow their speed in order to navigate narrow straits, making them vulnerable to be overtaken and boarded by small motorboats. In most cases, modern pirates are not interested in the cargo and are mainly interested in taking the personal belongings of the crew and the contents of the ship's safe, which may contain large amounts of cash needed to pay payroll and port fees. In some cases, the pirates will force the crew off the ship and sail the ship to a port where it is repainted and given a new identity through false papers.
