Well, shiver me timbers! Let’s start the new
year with some pirate-flavoured fun!
What is a pirate? Today, many of us
associate them with times long past,
wearing eyepatches and wielding
cutlasses, with parrots on their shoulders.
They were rough and mean and obsessed
with treasure chests spilling over with stolen
booty. The main era of piracy in the Caribbean
occurred between around 1650 and 1720.
During this period there was a lot of trade in
the area, which meant lots of ships carrying
valuable cargo – and lots of pirates trying to
steal it. However, piracy still happens around
the world today: modern-day pirates prowl
international waters, making it harder to
bring them to justice.
