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.

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?
