@Freeranger Can I just expound a bit though.....historical piracy has been a bit of a bent of mine. I've several books along the historical side and.....they're quite mind blowing, and I salute the authors who have researched them.
As an aside, said pirates were at times, [i]employed[/i] to "do their worst.' Know yer history kiddies....as regards pirates it would amaze you if you seek the truth on them. It ain't Johnny Depp.
