Fall captive to the code--the real-Life buccaneer byLaws that shaped every aspect of a pirate\'s life.
Using primary sources like eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates\' success in battle, on sea, and on land..
These rules became known as the Pirates\' Code, which all pirates had to publicly swear by.
These Laws were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships.
But what was Life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone\'s survival.
Pirates have long captured our imaginations with images of cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye patches, and buried treasure.
