Other ranks include the boatswain, master, gunner, doctor, and carpenter. If a pirate were to take more than his share, hide in times of war, or was dishonest with the crew, he "risked being deposited" somewhere unpleasant and full of hardships. Right before he swung off to his death he delivered a warning to all ships captains and owners that in order to prevent their crews from mutinying and resorting to piracy, they would be wise to pay their crews on time and treat them humanly. For pirates in the Atlantic World, trade routes are fortuitous, because of the vast wealth they supply in the way of cargo that moved along the Middle Passage. The captors were already "familiar with the single-sex community of work and the rigors of life-and death-at sea. Governments would stop turning a blind eye to these bandits when the costs of ignoring them outweighed attacking the pirate, and so a "campaign to cleanse the seas," was put into effect by governments, lawyers, businessmen, writers, and other members of legitimate society. Pirates were mostly former merchant seamen, or at least men who had sailed on vessels legitimately before turning to piracy. These were usually granted to ships which had been attacked so they could regain their property. Appleby J War, Politics and Colonisation, — In addition to doing archaeological research, she analyzed historical records.

It was not unusual for a crew to abandon their ship in times of "sinking," by use of lifeboats or acquiring another vessel. Two examples of loss could come when a captured ship's crew "destroyed booty to prevent pirates from taking it" or when a crew would hide "valuables to keep them out pirate hands. Often they would get more of it, but ideally, they would get far greater quality food.

The Alliance of Pirates : Ireland and Atlantic Piracy in the Early Seventeenth Century Writer STC, 2nd ed. English Hist Rev — The renown of pirates was not solely based on or confined to the co-opting of disciplinary tactics commonly used by the men sailing with official commission, but also due to their habit of "destroying massive amounts of property" with impunity.

It became known as "The Jamaica Act. Francis Bacon. The shortest amount of time that is agreed upon is from around to This means that many of those accused of piracy were criminals but not necessarily a crew of sailors capturing ships. Those incidences lead to two major acts of Parliament which reshaped British policy towards piracy both in Britain itself and in the colonies. As a result, a pirate ship still had the usual terminology found on merchant ships, but the role each ranking sailor would play on the pirate ship was not the norm.

Navy Records Society, London, pp 9 — Gainesville, Florida: University Press of Florida, With slaving remaining an open and competitive business, there existed both what Rediker calls a "fort trade" and a "ship trade. Maynard and Teach engaged each other with small arms and cannon until the ships were close enough to board; Maynard boarded the pirate ship to fight Teach, and the notorious pirate eventually fell.

  • Life Under the Jolly Roger: Reflections on Golden Age Piracy
    praise for life under the jolly roger In the golden age of piracy thousands plied the seas in egalitarian and com- munal alternatives to the piratical age of gold. The last gasps of the hundreds who were hanged and the blood-curdling cries of the thousands traded as slaves inflated the speculative financial bubbles of empire putting an end to these Robin Hood’s of the deep seas. In addition to history Gabriel Kuhn’s radical piratology brings philosophy, ethnography, and cultural studies to the stark question of the time: which were the criminals—bankers and brokers or sailors and slaves? By so doing he supplies us with another case where the history isn’t dead, it’s not even past! Onwards to health-care by eye-patch, peg-leg, and hook! Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra This vital book provides a crucial and hardheaded look at the history and mythology of pirates, neither the demonization of pirates as bloodthirsty thieves, nor their romanticization as radical communitarians, but rather a radical revisioning of who they were, and most importantly, what their stories mean for radical movements today. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame Stripping the veneers of reactionary denigration and revolutionary romanti- cism alike from the realities of “golden age” piracy, Gabriel Kuhn reveals the sociopolitical potentials bound up in the pirates’ legacy better than anyone who has dealt with the topic to date. Life Under the Jolly Roger is important reading for anyone already fascinated by the phenomena of pirates and piracy.

  • Pirate Articles and Their Society, 1660-1730
    ‘Piratical Schemes and Contracts’: Pirate Articles and their Society, 1660-1730 Submitted by Edward Theophilus Fox to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Maritime History In May 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality.

Led by ex-pirate John Rivers from 1686-1719, Saint Augustin was well-known as a resupplying depot for pirates operating in the region and, like other settlements in the immediate vicinity, was populated by “30 to 50 ex-pirates, or men waiting for a ship.”1 As ex-pirates, these men were said to have had “a very open-handed fraternity” with the Indigenous Malagasy populations; on rare occasions, the ex-pirates traded for enslaved people captured in local warfare and sold them to passing sailors or merchants.

    MARK G . HANNA Well -B ehaved Pirates seldom make history : a r eevaluation of the Golden aGe of enGlish Piracy he literature on english-speaking pirates in the early modern world tends to present piracy as a static phenomenon. modern tfilmmakers, fiction writers, and historians alike offer a monolithic image of “the pirate” that neglects the fact that the vast changes in global circumstances from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries produced many varieties of piracy. in popular culture, pirates dress a particular way, walk a particular way, and of course, talk a particular way. 1 under - graduates taking my course the Golden age of Piracy often ask me what pirates were really like, as if expecting me either to indulge in the common tropes and myths or skeptically to dissolve them. many historie s of piracy have been penned explicitly to uncover the true nature of piracy. 2 Pirate studies has moved beyond the agenda of determining the facts behind the legends to other, more politicized concerns. Were pirates proto- ca pitalists or protoproletarian radicals? Were they attempting to maxi - mize profits in a market-driven world or challenging the oppression of burgeoning capitalism? 3 Was the pirate ship the ideal home for homo - sexual men hoping to escape a sexually restrictive world on land ?4 Were the few female pirates protofeminist ?5 Were pirates race-blind challengers of a burgeoning slave trade ?6 Were they early “republicans” who voi ced “democratic sentiments that would later drive the american revolution? ”7 in sum, the prevailing paradigm in pirate historiography suggests that pirates challenged everything modern society finds repulsive about the early modern world.

  • Fascinating Flags of Plundering Pirates and Profiteering Privateers
    Plundering Pirates and Profiteering Privateers 1 Fascinating Flags of Plundering Pirates and Profiteering Privateers Robert S. Gauron We all can probably remember, from our childhood days, romantic stories about pirates—such as Treasure Island and Peter Pan. They bring back memo- ries of the ferocious pirate shown on the cover. As the “Pirate” article in The World Book Encyclopedia puts it: “He is pictured as a swarthy ruffian with a black beard or a fierce mustache. He wears gold earrings and a turban or a large hat, and carries a sword or dagger in his hand and a brace of pistols in his belt. He may be directing his men to bury treasure or ordering a victim to walk the plank.” Pirates A pirate is nothing more than a sea robber. The crime of piracy is armed robbery by ships of merchant ships at sea or of coastal cities. According to international law, piracy is punishable by death. The history of piracy is as old as the history of seafaring. It is said that piracy is the third oldest profession— after prostitution and medicine. It is also said that trade follows the flag, and robbery (whether by land or sea) follows trade. Pirates seized ships for cargo because they believed that the rewards of the crime were worth the risk. They often turned to piracy in protest against oppressive conditions at home or on merchant ships. Piracy began in the Mediterranean Sea, and spread to the Atlantic Ocean and then to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Pirates preyed upon the ships of the ancient Phoenicians about 3,000 years ago, and later on those of the Greeks and Romans, who sailed the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas.

  • The Calculus of Piratical Consent: the Myth of the Myth of Social Contract
    Public Choice (2009) 139: 443–459 DOI 10.1007/s11127-009-9403-5 The calculus of piratical consent: the myth of the myth of social contract Peter T. Leeson Received: 6 August 2008 / Accepted: 22 January 2009 / Published online: 4 February 2009 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2009 Abstract Is a genuine social contract mythical? I argue that pirates created genuine social contracts that established a system of constitutional democracy based on the same decision- making calculus and with the same effects that Buchanan and Tullock’s contractarian theory of government describes in The Calculus of Consent. Pirates’ constitutional democracy is the “holy grail” of social contract theory. It demonstrates that the contractarian basis of constitutional democracy is more than a mere analytic device or hypothetical explanation of how such a government could emerge. In pirates’ case, Buchanan and Tullock’s social contract theory describes how constitutional democracy actually did emerge. Keywords Pirates · Social contract · Calculus of consent · Constitutional democracy 1 Introduction Everyone knows that a genuine social contract—a written, unanimous agreement created by individuals in the state of nature with the express purpose of establishing political authority—is myth. We learn the work of Thomas Hobbes (1651), John Locke (1690), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1761), and at the same time learn that no society ever actually cre- ated its government through social agreement. As Emile Durkheim (1933: 202) put it, “The conception of a social contract . has no relation to the facts . Not only are there no so- cieties which have such an origin, but there is none whose structure presents the least trace of contractual organization.” Thus, in contemporary contractarian scholarship, the social contract is used exclusively as an analytic device to conceptually understand the reasons for This paper contains material from the author’s book, The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates (Princeton University Press, 2009).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Villains of All Nations Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age by Marcus Rediker Villains of All Nations
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Villains of All Nations Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age by Marcus Rediker Villains of All Nations. "Made up of all nations, and attacking the commerce of the world without respect for nation or property, pirates produced a strange and fascinating drama, an eighteenth-century morality play full of overlarge characters, complicated plots, twists and turns, and even unexpected outcomes." Villains of All Nations explores the "Golden Age" of Atlantic piracy and the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates. Award-winning historian Marcus Rediker focuses on the high seas drama of the years 1716-1726, which featured the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger; swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard; and the unnamed pegleg who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson's model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. This novel interpretation shows how sailors emerged from deadly working conditions on merchant and naval ships, turned pirate, and created a starkly different reality aboard their own vessels. At their best, pirates constructed their own distinctive egalitarian society, as they elected their officers, divided their booty equitably, and maintained a multinational social order. This unprecedented social and cultural history of pirates proves that the real lives of this motley crew - which included cross-dressing women, people of color, and the "outcasts of all nations" - are far more compelling than contemporary myth. Pirates challenged and subverted prevailing conventions of race, class, gender, and nation, posing a radical democratic challenge to the society they left behind. They dared to play the rebellious villain on a floating international stage.

Here, the goal is to find what motivated pirates to engage in a life as outlaws and then at some point choose to cast that life aside.
