For the most part pirates were nothing more than organized criminals yet the romance of the sea and the folklore that surrounds them causes most people to overlook that fact. Thanks for visiting and commenting, hopefully you found some other content on the site that was more in your liking.

It is like us in Spain loving a novel where Osama bin Laden is the hero and you anglosaxons the blood thirsty criminals.
