Pirate Names Starting in the 1600 hundreds, pirate names were picked to instill fear on the high seas, acquire a reputation or given as a term of endearment by the crew. Some of the fiercest pirate’s names which went down in infamy were Black Bart, Blackbeard and Calico Jack. I don’t want you thinking that pirates were for boys only. Way back in the day, the likes of Anne Bonny and Mary Read would put fear in the bravest of men. They reined terror over the high seas. Not only did the female pirates have a bad reputation, but they were also known for their fierce fighting and out battling the men on a variety of ships. © 2010 All Rights Reserved Jump Into A Book The most famous pirates, however, came from those who terrorized the sea and ports of the Caribbean. William Kidd, Jack Rackam, George Booth, Nathaniel Butler, Edward England, and Red beard are some of the most famous pirate names in days past and present. Avast, ye mateys, if you be wanting to be a pirate then ye need to be thinking of a good pirate name. For any of the names already hosting a name like Bill, Joe, etc. Just insert your very own name. Please choose a name from the list or create one of your own.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

Black Markets for Black Labor Pirates, Privateers, and Interlopers in the Early Dispersal of British Slavery
1 Black Markets for Black Labor Pirates, Privateers, and Interlopers in the Early Dispersal of British Slavery Gregory E. O’Malley Caltech Early Modern Group 2014 “The 3d of June [1722], they met with a small New-England Ship, bound home from Barbadoes, which . yielded herself a Prey to the Booters: The Pyrates took out of her fourteen Hogsheads of Rum, six Barrels of Sugar, a large Box of English Goods . , [and] six Negroes, besides a Sum of Money and Plate, and then let her go on her Voyage.” ~Capt. Charles Johnson, General History of the Pyrates1 By the mid-eighteenth century, networks of intercolonial trade would link the many European colonies of the Americas, facilitating a dispersal trade in the enslaved African people arriving from across the Atlantic. But during the early decades of English colonization in the Americas, such regular intercolonial trade circuits lay in the distant future. Instead, in the foundational decades of slavery in English America [ca. 1619-1700], the dispersal of Africans was more 1 Captain Charles Johnson [Daniel Defoe], A General History of the Pyrates, ed. Manuel Schonhorn (Mineola, N.Y., 1999), 314. The current consensus among literary scholars is that Defoe was not actually the author of the General History, but this edition (which attributes authorship to Defoe) is still the best scholarly edition in many regards, including its tracing of primary sources the author used to compile the accounts. Most scholars now accept the interpretation of P. N. Furbank and W. R. Owens that Defoe did not write the book under the pseudonym of Captain Charles Johnson (Furbank and Owens, The Canonisation of Daniel Defoe (New Haven, Conn., 1988) 100-109; see also C.

SHIPBOARD RULES GENERAL RULES 1). The Captain is the boss aboard ship. 2). The First Mate is the “next” boss aboard ship. 3). No whining, crying (unless you really stub your toe on a cleat), tattle telling, fighting, or the worse offense: “I’m bored.” VIOLATION OF #3 WILL CAUSE YOU TO BE SEWN UP IN THE MAINSHEET AND TOSSED OVERBOARD! 4) You must have fun!!!!!!!!!

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.
