Skilfully uses this notorious episode to illuminate the nature and extent of piracy in the period.The pirate attack on the British brig Morning Star, en route from Ceylon to London, near Ascension Island in 1828 was one of the most shocking episodes of piracy in the nineteenth century. Although the captain and many members of the crew were murdered by the pirates led by the notorious Benito de Soto, some survived, escaped and sailed the ship back to Britain. This book, based on extensive original research in Britain, Spain and Brazil, retells the story of the Morning Star, provides much new detail and corrects errors present in the many contemporary accounts of the attack. It sets the attack in the wider context of piracy in the period, and discusses many issues which the episode highlights: how pirates' careers began and developed; how they were pursued and tried, often with difficulty; what became of their treasure; how stories of the attack and of the survivors were sensationalised; how the women passengers on the ship endured their ordeal at the hands of the pirates and then, back in Britain, had to endure potential loss of their reputations.s on the ship endured their ordeal at the hands of the pirates and then, back in Britain, had to endure potential loss of their reputations.s on the ship endured their ordeal at the hands of the pirates and then, back in Britain, had to endure potential loss of their reputations.s on the ship endured their ordeal at the hands of the pirates and then, back in Britain, had to endure potential loss of their reputations.

Excerpt from The Buccaneers of America: A True Account of the Most Remarkable Assaults Committed of Late Years Upon the Coasts of the West Indies by the Buccaneers of Jamaica and Tortuga (Both English and French); Wherein Are Contained More Especially the Unparalleled Exploits of Sir Henry Morg The first three Parts of this work were originally written in Dutch by Alex. Olivier Exquemelin (1645-1707) - anglicized as John Esquemeling; and published in Amsterdam in 1678 under the title De Americaensche Zeerovers. A Spanish translation by A. de Buena-Maison, under the title Piratas de la America, appeared in small 4to, at Colonia Agrippina 1681, and translations into other European languages followed, each magnifying the deeds of its own national hero, sometimes at the expense of Esquemeling's text. The Fourth Part consists of the Journal of Basil Ringrose, "gent.," one of the English Buccaneers; and gives an account of their principal exploits in the South Seas, with which Esquemeling dealt only in outline. Ringrose was with the Buccaneers at Darien in 1680, and returned to England in 1682: his Journal appeared as the second volume of Esquemeling's work in 1685. He sailed in 1684 for the South Seas in the Cygnet, whose Captain joined the Buccaneers: he was killed by the Spaniards in Mexico in 1686. The present edition is a verbatim reprint - modernized in respect of punctuation, and obsolete spellings and verbal and typographic eccentricities - of the second edition of the English translation (London: printed for William Crooke, at the Green Dragon without Temple-bar, 1684), which contains two additional chapters (XI and XII) to the first edition (also 1684) relating the adventures of Captain Cook, Captain Sharp, and others. Ringrose's Fourth Part is reprinted from the first edition, which is excessively rare, valued to-day at about 60 (in good condition). A few notes have been added at the foot of the pages where obscurities - chiefly verbal - occur. The essay on this book from the pen of the late Mr Andrew Lang is reprinted from his Essays in Little, by kind permission of Messrs Longmans, Green and Co., its publishers.

Seit der Antike schon ist die Piraterie Teil der Seefahrt. Vor allem Völker, die an Küstengebieten leben, betrieben diese Art des organisierten Raubes auf See. Die erste dokumentierte Piraterie stammt aus dem Jahr 1400 v. Christi. Daher ist es kaum verwunderlich, dass sich um dieses Thema Sagen und Mythen ranken. Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung spannender und packender Geschichten der Seeräuberei und liegt in englischer Sprache vor.

Fall captive to the code—the real-life buccaneer bylaws that shaped every aspect of a pirate’s life. Pirates have long captured our imaginations with images of cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye patches, and buried treasure. But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone’s survival. These “Laws” were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the “Pirates’ Code,” which all pirates had to publicly swear by. Using primary sources like eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates’ success in battle, on sea, and on land.
