About this listen
For centuries, pirates have captured imaginations with stories of treasure, adventure, and daring escapes on the high seas. But beyond the stories, there’s a real history that has shaped trade, cultures, and laws around the world.
This audiobook will take you on a journey through time, showing how piracy began, grew, and even still exists today. From ancient sailors to modern pirates, you’ll uncover fascinating stories that bring this dangerous world to life.
Here’s what you’ll discover:
- Ancient Sea Pirates: How did early civilizations like the Greeks and Romans create the first pirates?
- Why Piracy Rose: What problems in society and trade caused piracy to spread across the seas?
- Viking Pirates: Why did these fierce warriors become some of the most feared pirates in history?
- The Golden Age of Piracy: Meet famous pirates like Blackbeard and Henry Morgan and learn how they set up pirate bases like Nassau and Tortuga.
- Pirate Ships: What made their ships fast and dangerous, and how did they use them to outsmart their enemies?
- Life as a Pirate: How did pirates live every day? What rules did they follow, and how did they stay in charge?
- The End of Piracy: What actions did governments take to stop pirates, and why did piracy start to fade away?
- Modern-Day Pirates: How does piracy today compare to the pirates of the past, and what challenges do we face with modern pirates?
