Pirate Awards Guest Book: Sign View Main Page Rochedale State School Pages maintained and created by Glenda Crew PIRATES, BUCCANEERS and PRIVATEERS: 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.

LET THIS ONE GO BY UNLESS YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF THAT THE ENTIRE STORY IN FICTION INCLUDING THE CHARACTERS AS THIS AUTHOR KNOWS NEXT TO NOTHING, AND A GREAT DEAL OF THE SO-CALL FACTS ARE IN ERROR! E.G. This author imagines you can see the beach from 30 miles off. Someone should tell him the earth is NOT flat and the horizon is 10-12 miles depending on how high up you are. Fantastic Illustrations. 60 black/white and 12 color illustrations. Overall a terrific buy for anyone interested in the real stories of pirates. The plates are very useful for costume and prop design as well. This novel details the buccaneers themselves, their crews, how they were recruited and how they fought their battles, both on land and on sea. The Complete Book of Pirates traces piracy from the seas of antiquity to the New World and beyond. It is a thorough, authoritative, and memorable portrait of the fascinating world of pirates. Detailed maps bear vivid testimony to the far-ranging exploits of these capricious, sometimes charismatic, and frequently bloodthirsty seadogs and highwaymen of the oceans.

They are called buccaneers, privateers and pirates. Depending on the source they can all mean the same. Typically however they are categorized as such. A privateer was a ship under papers to a government or a company to perform specific tasks. The men who sailed on a privateer were also called privateers. The papers were usually referred to as a Marque of Letters. Some times these letters would give the captain to act in the behalf of a certain company or government to obtain slaves or perhaps bread fruit trees. Often the limits of the Marque were vague, leaving it up to the captain and crew to determine what they could take. Sometimes the privateers ignored the Marque and just did what they bloody well pleased. During times of war, some governments would commission privateers to seek out and attack the ships of hostile nations. This was especially true of England in this case, the Privateers would sail "on the account". That is they would loot, pillage, and plunder England's enemies for King and Country. For their efforts the Captain and crew would receive a portion of the plunder, between 1/5 and 1/2 the rest going to the crown. In return the Captain and crew had safe harbor and was protected by England. Henry Morgan was a privateer.

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.

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.

What's a Privateer, Pirate, Buccaneer, and/or Marooner? There are several terms that one hears when discussing piracy. They are called, marooners, buccaneers, privateers and pirates. Depending on the source they can all mean the same. Typically however they are categorized as such. A Merchant is a ship commissioned by a government or company to perform specific noncombatant tasks, such as shipping cargo, transporting slaves, or perhaps obtaining bread fruit. They would sail under letters from companies or countries giving them permission to complete the tasks. The men aboard were called merchants, merchant sailors, or merchant marines. Merchant ships were often armed and sometimes escorted. The crew received their pay from the company or nation that outfitted the ship. A Privateer was an armed ship under papers to a government or a company to perform specific tasks. The men who sailed on a privateer were also called privateers. The papers were usually referred to as a Marque of Letters . Some times these letters would give the captain rights to act in the behalf of a certain company or government to commit acts of reprisal, escort merchants, or protect coastal areas or property. Often the limits of the Marque were vague, leaving it up to the captain and crew to determine what they could take or attack. Sometimes the privateers ignored the Marque and just did what they bloody well pleased. Most of the time, Privateers were engaged of act of reprisals against other nations, that is engaged in acts of war. A key distinction between a Merchant and Privateer, is the privateer was not paid by the nation or company but paid by taking spoils from ships or properties they attacked or fought off.

20. Tortuga From that point on, the buccaneers who continued attacks were pirates and were quicklyhanged. Many of the former privateers were employed by the government of http://blindkat.hegewisch.net/pirates/tortuga.html

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.
