Today I have written some interesting facts about pirates. I hope you enjoy them!
- A pirate is a robber on sea. Pirates attack ships and ports stealing treasure and other goods.
- The Greek islands were home to some of the earliest known pirates because there were many cargo ships trading along the Mediterranean coast.
- The Roman leader Pompei sent a huge fleet to wipe out the pirates of the Mediterranean.
- When a pirate captain decided to attack, he raised a special flag.
- All pirates dreamed of gold and silver. Some were lucky enough to capture ships packed with them.
- Pirates often hid their treasure by burying it in a remote spot. Then they could dig it up later.
- Violent storms and shipwrecks were a pirate's biggest nightmare
- Some pirate captains had strict rules such as no fighting on-board and keeping candles burning after 8 o'clock in the night. Pirates who did not obey their captain were marooned. Marooning means when a pirate or person was left alone on a deserted island.
- Edward Teach was the most terrifying pirate on the high seas and was better known as Blackbeard
- Pirates are not a thing of the past. There are still plenty of pirates operating on the seas today.
