A General History of Pirates
 This book by Charles Johnson is titled 'A General History of the
Robberies and Murders of the most notorious Pirates'. It contains an in-depth
insight into the world of the pirates with chapters dedicated to the most famous
pirates of the Eighteenth Century.
The book provides any known details, such as where they were from and tells the
story of each pirate. It also includes lists of crew members and whether they
were pardoned or executed. Some entries show the age of the person, their
birthplace, and there is also a name index available.
Why not read this month's article, which looks at the real Pirates of the Caribbean?

The exploits of Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew in the films ‘Pirates of the
Caribbean’ are based on real life characters who terrorised the seas, and some of us
may well have
ancestors that were involved in the piracy which occurred in the Caribbean and around
the world.
Privateering was actively supported by the Government during times of warfare to disrupt
enemy trade routes, but the pirates were uncontrollable, targeting the Royal Navy and other
British ships.
The most notorious pirate of all time is
Blackbeard,
featured in the fourth instalment ‘On Stranger Tides’, and recorded in Johnson’s
contemporary account ‘A General History of the Pirates’.
