Pirates have a well-earned bad reputation, & this book invites the reader to join their ranks. Here you will discover everything the aspiring pirate needs to know in order to join a crew & start – & possibly end – a life of adventure, plunder & glory. The hopeful initiate is educated on all manner of piratical concerns: the history of this dishonourable tradition stretching back to ancient Greece & Rome; essentials of language & dress; notably dastardly pirate role models from around the world, including Blackbeard & Captain Kidd, but also some less well known, such as Eustace the Monk & Anne Bonny & Mary Read; what to expect of life at sea; the best weapons to have; how to capture a prize on the high seas, & much more. Author Stephen Turnbull has studied the archives & travelled to pirate locations around the world in researching this fictionalized account, written as a pirate’s training manual for a young recruit, but solidly grounded in fact, based on the year 1793, a golden age for piracy. His lively & engaging manual provides answers to all the questions you may have wondered about – did they really walk the plank (probably not); keep parrots; bury treasure & mark it with an X on the map? & you may be surprised to learn what their usual style of hat actually was. Illustrated throughout with contemporary artifacts, documents & prints, as well as modern reconstructions, this light-hearted but informative guide will captivate readers young & old, & covers with authority every aspect of what it was really like to be a pirate.
