The Barbarossa Brothers were once the greatest pirates who ever roamed the sea, they had a fleet of ships so large they outmatched any navy or pirate crew that crossed their path. They had so much treasure that it could fill the whole entire Nile river. But a young captain by the name of L’Olonnais, he was just starting out as a crewman on the ship called the Royal Fortune. While they were passing a small island called The Angel Isles.

The document shows that pirates and their activities began with privateering. This document was written as a contract to allow Captain Plowman to do whatever necessary for the English with no repercussions for Plowman himself. Privateers had a contract with a state in which they had to abide by. The document talks about how Captain Plowman, a privateer, was hired by the English during Queen Anne’s War which allowed him to attack and destroy all vessels of France and Spain.

In the midst of it all, buccaneers and privateers are generally known as what they are, pirates. But, this hackneyed term is slightly ambiguous. What most people don’t know is that these three hundred year old beings appeared in different situations throughout the Golden Age of Piracy. Many of the pirates from this period lived in separate parts of the world, executing different assignments for different reasons. Although buccaneers and privateers were, in essence, pirates, they were inequivalent in terms of background, purpose, and operation.

Rediker illustrates this purpose by providing a Marxist interpretation of piracy as well as a bottom-up history of piracy during the Golden Age. Rediker divides the Golden Age of Atlantic piracy into three phases and these phases are chronicled in Villains of All Nations.

Piracy is a concept that, over the span of many years, has been heavily romanticised. Piracy began many centuries again, in multiple areas of the world. Yet, it held up until not too long ago. No matter how old the idea of piracy is though, it will almost certainly never be forgotten thanks to stories such as Robert Louis Stevens’ Treasure Island. These stories highlight the more rewarding parts of piracy, which has kept many people fascinated about the subject as a whole.

“You May Lay to That”: Honor Promoted in Treasure Island When Robert Louis Stevenson first wrote Treasure Island, the title of the book was Sea Cook (Hardesty and Mann). The author’s original title alludes to the centrality of the character Long John Silver, the mutinous Sea Cook. Silver is a problem character from the beginning, as enigmatic as he is charismatic. There is embedded in Silver a curious question of morals and value in trust. In reference to Silver, Lisa Honaker remarks that Stevenson has made “the villain the hero of Treasure Island” (29).

His ship slightly larger and more heavily armed, but it was also a bit slower. Mine was faster and also armed but to a lesser extent. The pirates' ship, however, was a great deal larger than either of ours and had more guns than both of ours put together. Nevertheless, I could tell it was stolen from the navy, probably a patrol ship that was caught in unfamiliar territory and ambushed, and navy ships were notoriously slow and cumbersome.

It all began in a little blue house in the center of town. The wind blowing the lavender curtains all about. The perfectly trimmed grass, and the warmth of the sunshine that makes your heart swell with joy. Inside lay an elementary girl, sound asleep with her books scattered around her.

The Pirate hunters written by Robert Kurson provides a more factual, representation of pirates, in particular, a pirate named Joseph Bannister. Bannister and his famed ship the Golden Fleece and the search for the ship is what the Pirate Hunter details (Kurson). It focuses on Bannister’s job as a sea captain, transporting goods from London to Jamaica until he stole the ship that he was working on and became a pirate, possibly the greatest pirate of all time (Kurson). Bannister’s story took place around the Caribbean, where many other pirate stories take place. According to Shultz, a lot of pirates were in the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy, seen in films like the Pirates of the Caribbean which took place in Tortuga and was actually
