This first book in the series: The REAL Story of Pirates - Fun Facts, Tall Tales, and Awesome Activities, offers real information related to pirates and life at sea; as well as brief profiles of famous pirates of the past. Illustrations (which are meant to be colored) of pirates and the equipment they used in work and daily life are also here. Every year, on September 19th, many people around the world participate in International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Did you know that real Pirates didn't really talk that way? This pirate-style of speaking heard in films and on TV was copied from actor Robert Newton. Did you know, too, the young American Colonies defeated Britain with the help of Privateers? Privateers were pirates for hire. Did you also know that many common phrases heard today came from the classic age of pirates and seafaring? For example, The expression Pipe Down, which means to be quiet, originally meant the last signal of the day from a pipe or whistle from a ship officer called a bosun, indicating it was time to go to sleep. Many other such words and phrases are explained within these pages. Facts and stories like these, as well as fun coloring pages, a maze, and other activities are included in the book. There are also recommendations for discussing pirates with your children or grandkids, and even full instructions on how to host an inexpensive pirate-themed party for your special child's birthday, or other special event!

Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. Those who engage in acts of piracy are called pirates. The era of piracy in the Caribbean began in the 1500s and died out in the 1830s after the navies of the nations of Western Europe and North America with colonies in the Caribbean began combating pirates. In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach and 'Black Sam' Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous 'Pirating Gang' was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations in the Old and New Worlds. Piracy flourished in the Caribbean because of the existence of pirate seaports such as Port Royal in Jamaica, Tortuga in Haiti, and Nassau in the Bahamas. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote.
