Pirate ships in the Golden Age of Piracy weren’t very pleasant places to live. It was an exciting life, to be sure, but things weren’t always easy for the sailors. Diseases and injuries were common among the crew. Doctors were scarce and not always well trained, and many pirates died. It is a wonder that so many men chose the pirate life!

Darby made numerous trips between 1859 and 1877 to talk about his new dispensationalist ideas. His theology began to spread rapidly with the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible, a bible which had annotated ideas published right alongside the King James text.
