Pirates ahoy!
No wonder we all love the
excitement and adventure of
pirate stories. Imagine sailing the
high seas with a band of tattooed
rascals, searching for ships to
plunder! It would have been a
dangerous and exciting life.
A pirate was a scary looking fellow.
On his head, a pirate wore a scarf
to protect himself from the harsh
sun. Over one eye he may have
had a patch to hide an ugly scar.
Many of his teeth might have been
missing and the ones that were left
would have been black. Pirates
didn’t spend much time cleaning
their teeth!
No ship was safe from a band of
pirates. All they wanted was to get
rich quickly by stealing money and
treasure. The sight of the Jolly Roger
flying high on the mast of a pirate
ship put fear into anyone travelling
across the high seas.

In many stories, pirates stored their
stolen goods in large, wooden treasure chests. They used big iron keys
and heavy iron locks to keep their loot safe from other pirates. Many of
them stole from each other.
Sometimes, they buried their chests on an island and drew a map
where ‘X’ marked the spot of the buried treasure. Other pirates would
commit terrible crimes to get the map of the island. There are many
stories about pirates’ adventures trying to find buried treasure.
