Battle at Sea
There once was a boy who lived not on land, but the sea. His name was Dubloon Devil. He was just a little pirate who was passionate about being the greatest, richest and fastest pirate just like his father, Captain Squigglybeard. Captain Squigglybeard was the greatest pirate in all the seven seas. He gave a name for his crew, The Buccaneers of the Lost Shores so they can be proud of him.
Everything was all going so well for The Buccaneers of the Lost Shores. Until one of Captain Squigglybeard’s worst enemy Jack One-Eyed Murphy suddenly arrives at what The Buccaneers called home, The Land of the Lost Shores. One-Eyed Murphy was a terrible and deadly pirate. No other pirate can match up to Captain Squigglybeard skills except for

Squigglybeard gave up. Dubloon Devil watched in disbelief of what just happened through his bedroom window. Squigglybeard’s crew ran off and grabbed Dubloon Devil with them to an emergency evacuation boat. One-Eyed Murphy and his crew were laughing in happiness as they found a room hidden with stacks of gold and treasure. Dubloon Devil was so angry about what just happened. He was most annoyed about that One-Eyed Murphy had done to his father. He dreamt that someday he’ll be the one laughing and stealing One-Eyed Murphy’s beautiful treasure, but for now, he has grief to deal with. The next day, Dubloon Devil felt he required to practise his sword skills and speed skills to defeat One-Eyed Murphy. Later that evening the crew found land to stay and rest when they suddenly realised, a captain should be chosen. Everyone tried to be captain when suddenly, a crew member said Dubloon Devil should be the captain as he was in the same family as Squigglybeard. Everyone began to agree with that idea and as soon as you know it. Dubloon Devil was made captain through democracy. Dubloon Devil said that since he was Captain, he made his crew …show more content…
So the sword skills and agility weren’t needed, but they knew they were going to require it someday. When, in flash One-Eyed Murphy climbed up Dubloon Devil’s ship and quickly slaughtered a few crew members. Dubloon Devil stood in shock and told all the rest of his crew to withdraw. From 10 to 6, all the crew members all rushed to safety even if it meant to swim across the ocean. Dubloon Devil only had one crew member that couldn’t swim since he had a peg leg. Dubloon Devil carried his old jolly Rodger on his crooked back. He swam for hours with his crew right on his tail. Luckily land was near as most of the pirates looked like they would pass out. When Dubloon Devil reached the last stretch off to the shore he gave orders to his crew to quickly make shelter and build a fire. The sun was dying and the moon was rising. Nevertheless, they still haven’t made a fire or shelter. Dubloon Devil figured he had to get a rest and then go to fight One-Eyed Murphy again. With the silence of the midnight, One-Eyed Murphy sneak attacked the Buccaneers, but Dubloon Devil was prepared. Instead of his crew gathering sticks for a fire, they sought a cavern with all sorts of weapons. Dubloon Devil told his crew to fire as soon as they

He gained a considerable presence by engaging more and more considerably sized ships and eventually became a plundering heavyweight to rival pirates such as Blackbeard.

    The two passage gives different views of Blackbeard. The first passage, "Lieutenant Rober Maynard and Blackbeard, the pirate", makes Blackbeard out to be a fierce and threatening man. Yet in the second passage, "A Fury from Hell - or Was He?", shows Blackbeard as a forthright kind of attitude and a leader. Although, in both passages, it inferes that he was a clever man. In the first passage, it states, "Colonial governments grew concerned about their shipping, and acts of piracy... were attributed to blackbeard and his crew" (Lt. Maynard and Blackbeard 1).…

    Unfortunately for merchant interests, enticing pirates to quit their criminal endeavors failed as badly as the military efforts to stop them. Although pardons were successful at bringing pirates into shore, they did not keep them for long. Many shook the hand of the governor, swore his allegiance to the crown, and then shortly returned to preying on vessels at sea. The failure of pardons to slow the proliferation of piracy cannot all be blamed on piratical greed. Pardons were specific to regions and times, and the vague language they contained raised fear of trickery.…

    Color And Slavery

    In many cases, people of color acted as booty. With the slave trade thriving in the Atlantic, pirates often preyed on the slave ships along the Middle Passage in hopes of capturing the ‘bounty’ and selling it for themselves, much like what John Hawkins had done at the dawn of English privateering. While the pirates had no qualms in selling their ‘loot’ in the North American colonies, they also held allowed for runaway slaves to join their ranks, as well as free blacks. Moreover, these black pirates were given full initiation into the pirate brotherhood, allowing them the ability to rise in ranks on the ship should their crewmates deem them worthy. Yet, despite the offer of full companionship for some people of color, others were subjected to the same treatment that they would otherwise have on shore.…

    From about 1600’s to around the 1750’s, during the Golden Age of Piracy, colonial and Europeans depicted pirates as criminals. Pirates were looked at as immoral individuals who wasted their stolen booty for women and alcohol. Research conducted has focused primarily on the evolution of piracy and the social reasons that drove men and women to become pirates. Although pirates in the Golden Age of piracy were more interested in the Spanish treasure, many of these pirates were religiously motivated and thus having religion playing a significant role in their lives and throughout history. Religion was an important role from the start in the New World religion ties, especially for the Corsairs, Buccaneers and Vikings.…
