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. pirates • seamen • sailing ship • hard tack • food

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. pirates • piracy • ireland • clare island • granuaile
