Pirates
Pirates are some of the most popular, romanticized figures in the history of films and novels. Pirates have been around for as long as people have used the oceans as trade routes. The first pirate activity of which we have knowledge dates back to the seventh century BCE.
Pirates continually raided the rich shores, spreading terror and causing devastation. There are many stories about pirates. Their lifestyle, dress code, ships, flags, treasures and adventures make pirate stories an interesting reading.
