• There once was a mythical time when brave and
  dangerous pirates sailed the seas in search of
  fortune and fame. There was a historical period
  from roughly 1680 - 1730 when large numbers of
  Anglo-American mariners were engaged in piracy
  and privateering, often against Spanish or other
  targets of opportunity in the Atlantic Ocean. A
  great challenge for modern historians is to
  separate fact from fiction, since the mythical
  time and the historical time of this Golden Age
  of Piracy are so intertwined in both historical
  sources and the collective consciousness of our
  culture.
