Synopsis

Buried treasure, pirate accents, swashbuckling sea battles, tricorn hats, and walking the plank—did you know that none of those elements are true regarding real pirates from history?

In fact, there are plenty of other elements about real-life pirates that are simply fiction. But what about the real history of pirates—is it worth exploring, and why?

The history of the Golden Age of Piracy, the one that has shaped the modern conception of a pirate, is complex and long, with lots of information to cover. Until today, there has not been a tome discussing the key details of the Golden Age in a digestible, easy-to-read format.

This book will be your guide to the Golden Age of Piracy, and reading it, you will discover the following:

• The original pirate bases and pirate routes
• A brief history of piracy before the Golden Age
• Stories of multiple prominent pirates, both male and female
• Incredible tales of voyages across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans
• The ins and outs of a pirate’s everyday life
• Various myths and legends related to pirates that persist to this day
