Oh To Be A Pirate - Part 1
Sand sifting through an hourglass symbolizes the swiftness with which time passes. For pirates, it meant life was fleeting so they played with the same ferocity as they preyed. Yet the dangers they faced were not so different from those of others who sailed during the Age of Sail. The beauty of the sea belied the danger it possessed, for in the blink of an eye a ship became a wreck or a storm swept the ablest of seamen from the deck. If by chance they survived those perils, they might fall victim to disease.

A Trio of Pirates
Time and distance separated Murat Rais, Kanhoji Angria, and Howell Davis, but each of these men employed audacious cunning to become successful pirates. Although probably an Albanian by birth, Murat Rais rose high in the ranks of the Barbary corsairs. The African Kanhoji Angria terrorized British ships in the Indian Ocean, and the Welsh seaman turned pirate, Howell Davis, hoodwinked governors into believing that he hunted pirates for a living.

Granuaile (aka Grace O'Malley) - Irish Pirate
Most historical accounts written in the past were penned by men. Women were largely ignored or gained mention because of their husbands or charitable deeds. On occasion, though, a few women defied the roles often assigned them to gain prominence in their own rights. Grace O'Malley was such a woman. While Sir Francis Drake and other Elizabethan Sea Rovers gained notoriety as pirates, Granuaile would have drifted into obscurity if not for Irish bards and poets. She dared to enter a man's world, and in the process proved to be a successful sailor, chieftain, and pirate.
