Despite the battles danger, and the inevitable diseases on board, a pirate’s life attracted a lot of sailors, wishing to become rich and influent, to know the freedom of an existence of debauchery and pleasure!

As she explains, to become a woman pirate you have to be a tomboy somehow, because you're fighting against men, under men's rules, and you're so considered as a man. I don't think women pirates could use their charms to seduce men! Unlike pirates' legends and glamour visions (as in movie like[...]]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 23:17:35 +0200 1eb14c613089083d20f91c99e7671d4c www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6646202-6.html#anchorComment http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6645713.html Fri, 18 May 2007 21:52:29 +0200 9e3d7a75ca7cd82762f3e6ba1bc4c827 www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6645713-6.html#anchorComment http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6645597.html
That was the “preferential treatment” in general reserved to women. And two famous piracy’s figures prove this fact! On the Jamaïcan coast, in 1721, three gallows were waiting for their victims. A captain and his two powerful companions.

But above all, whatever we think, except for physical tortures, the worst punishment for a real and passionated pirate was imprisonment! To be held during endless decades, far from the treasures, the ships and the horizons of freedom...

The good news is, you were already dead. The bad news is you were not given a proper burial. For many pirates, this bad news was quite frightening. It meant that your immortal soul would never have any chance of redemption. The practice of hanging in chains or irons was pretty basic. The pirate[...]]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 19:45:15 +0200 1320e0914213d124182e624db7c66ab8 www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6645111-6.html#anchorComment http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6644958.html
But if I knew a glorious and quick death, my crew didn?t know the same ending! At the time, and ?till the global disappearance of pirates at the end of the XIX century, punishments intended for us were long and cruel, in order to discourage possible volunteers. This is an original proof: This[...]]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 15:22:34 +0200 30b3d4e7be122dda3c40e816071f3421 www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6644958-6.html#anchorComment http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6643542.html
On 10 February 1722, the Royal Fortune, my favourite and biggest vessel arrived to Cape Lopez. The previous day, I had captured the Neptune, and many of my crew were drunk and unfit for duty just when I needed them most.They at first thought that the approaching ship was the Ranger returning,[...]]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 15:19:25 +0200 6926446daf2712b3d1850c7ba59380be www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6643542-6.html#anchorComment http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6643387.html
Now I, Captain X, sail toward the African coasts , to Cap Lopez, offshore of the Gabon: an old skeleton is waiting for me. I'm now wearing a costume of grandeur, red and precious: my new name is Bartholomew Roberts, the most surprising pirate ever born! A cruel but puritain one, dandy,[...]]]> Fri, 18 May 2007 15:03:00 +0200 e3e5d17a2f1c0c34a2dba4d503a50715 www.captain http://captain.over-blog.com/article-6643387-6.html#anchorComment
