Description
You are the captain of a Spanish galleon laden with treasure sailing the Caribbean Sea in 1716. Sailing with other ships, you fall behind and are attacked by pirates. It was the golden age of piracy in the early 1700s, and this book explains the context of piracy by describing the geographical area of the Spanish Main, looks at detail of the ships of the period, and how the pirates treated prisoners. The text avoids the romantic impressions which surround piracy, and paints a realistic picture of survival if marooned and waiting for rescue.Stock Information
