    During the seventeenth century, pirates easily found welcoming colonial ports eager to separate the itinerant from his ill-gotten hard currency. This neglect at best, active collusion at worst, made it nearly impossible to fight piracy as long as the perpetuators could disappear into colonial towns after committing their crimes. These enabling attitudes changed during the eighteenth century, closing off potential safe havens, and helping to tighten the noose around pirate’s necks. However, the closing of friendly ports was only a piece in the larger imperial mosaic designed to rid the oceans of pirates. The perceived threat they posed to national and local interests ensured that officials would employ any means necessary to obtain security, even if it meant trampling on English rights, while totting the judiciousness of the English legal…

    12 July 1726. Had this been a typical Tuesday Morning, a Boston resident could have taken a stroll down cobbled King’s Street, perhaps picking up a copy of this week’s Boston News-Letter, on their way to the merchant shops at the Long Wharf. Once there, they could have gazed at dozens of deep sea vessels going about their trade in the Boston Harbor, or headed into Crown’s Coffee-House to hear the latest news from throughout the Atlantic told by sea hardened sailors. However, this particular Tuesday was anything but ordinary.…

    Stolen Seas Analysis

    Throughout the many ages, pirates have always been a center of fascination. Depicted as swashbuckling, carefree, and charismatic individuals, pirates have inspired many children to one day become pirates themselves. However, this depiction of pirates is far from how legitimate pirates are. Genuine pirates are not swashbuckling, carefree, nor charismatic, but, are more of an individual who “disrupts” the ocean, thereby being labeled as a criminal. In the documentary, Stolen Seas, directed by Thymaya Payne, he disillusions the whole romantic perception of pirates and portrays how difficult and lawless they really are.…

    While some pirates were cruel outlaws many were just plain sailors who could not find an honest living. The life of a sailor in those times was hard. The power of the captain of a merchant ship or a military ship was nearly absolute. Crewmen could be whipped by a cruel captain for the least offense. In 1630 a treaty was signed with Spain that allowed the English and French to colonize some of the lands along the Spanish Main.…

    Introduction Newport, Rhode Island was a safe haven for pirates during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, especially from the late 1600s to the early 1700s. This perhaps is surprising considering that Rhode Island was established by Puritans, but it is important to note that these Puritans were not as devout as the first generation that had settled the colonies. In fact, Rhode Island was a place where the non-traditional colonists’ could belong. Still, pirates were a part of the daily scenery in Newport, and many had melded their way into society. In order for one to understand the relationship that existed between the colonists’ and the pirates, one must simply understand the concept of supply and demand.…

    John Appleby Pirates

    Authors Main Arguments John Appleby argues that a few women during the 16th and 17th Centuries participated in committing piracy at sea. During that time, piracy was male dominated and any accounts of female participation was small. The author states that it is difficult to find recorded history surrounding females aboard ships because of how unconventional it was for women to take part. He argues that it is not female physical capability that restricts them, but it is instead the environment onboard a ship and folk superstitions that prevented them from wanting to become pirates. To study the relationship between women and piracy, the author examines two of the most well known female pirates in history: Anne Bonny and Mary Read.…

    Historically, piracy and privateering are often confused and the differentiation between the two is vague. They are very similar since the general concept of their work (raiding and pillaging ships) is the same. It is authorization that forms the distinction between them: privateering was a governmentally authorized affair. The country giving the authorization considered it privateering and the country being raided considered it piracy. Distribution of Letters of Marque to privateering ships was common enough that pirates, the unauthorized sea raiders, could easily function under a facade of legitimacy.…
