The Buccaneers
The original buccaneers were hunters who lived on Hispaniola in the Caribbean. Driven from the island, they turned to piracy and formed a brotherhood that went in search of Spanish prey. At first they attacked small ships, but eventually they preyed on larger prizes. Escaped convicts, outlaws, and slaves joined their ranks. These Brethren of the Coast obeyed no laws but their own, and their leaders maintained discipline through brutal acts of violence.

Fleau des Espagnois - Flail of the Spaniards

Making Your Mark
Pirates were notorious for their lawlessness and brutality. Yet they adhered to the ideals of the French Revolution-liberty, equality, and brotherhood-a century before that country's monarchy fell. Their Articles of Agreement set them apart from other naval and governmental institutions of the time because they incorporated principles of democracy.

Notorious Pirate Havens - Part 4: Port Royal
My first introduction to Port Royal came when I saw Errol Flynn in <i>Captain Blood</i>. That depiction of a bustling seaport was a far cry from reality. For a time, Port Royal was a haven for pirates, who helped it gain a reputation of being one of the most vile and evil cities of the seventeenth century.

The Golden Age of Piracy
For forty years from around 1690 until 1730, the most famous pirates sailed the High Seas. Writers such as Robert Louis Stevenson and J. M. Barrie, painters like Howard Pyle, and Hollywood in films like Captain Blood made these pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy immortal. They, themselves, were legends in their own time.

Did Pirates Really Go Arrrgh?
A pirate is one of the original terrorists of the world. In fact, terror was just as much a weapon in a pirate's armory as his sword. So just when did the pirate pass from a seafaring, Osama Bin Laden-type of scumbag to the romantic, handsome, swashbuckling hero? More importantly, did they really go "arrrgh?" Let us examine the mystique of the pirate.
