Piracy is the act of stealing valuable goods or cargo. People who engage in piracy are called pirates. Pirates can be found almost anywhere, as long as there are ships traveling through the water. Pirates nowadays use small motorboats and they are armed with guns. There are many pirates in Asia as there are many ships containing valuable oil passing through Asia’s seas, especially at Southeast Asia.

I know that pirates are nasty and steal loot in the past, they also rob you and 🤬 people. I know that Indonesia and so Marta have one of the most number of pirates. The pirates also go for oil tankers as when they steal the oil, they can sell it for a very high price. Pirates do not really go for navy ships as there is nothing to steal and it is also very well guarded. In the past, pirates have very big ships and fight each other, but now, they go in smaller motorboats in order to be undetected.

Mordern pirates are basically like those in the children’s books just that you have to minus The eye patch, the hat, the hook, the leg, the parrot/monkey and the swords. That’s actually a lot of differences. Maybe they aren’t that alike. But mordern pirates still steal stuff from boats using boats, force people to give the cargo by using weapons and steal for their own purposes.

Pirates are firstly people who come from poor families. They cannot afford food to keep themselves going or to support their families. Hence, they Attack vessels with cargo such as oil tankers that are commonly found in the Asia area as we are a large trading area in the market. They then steal the oil and either 🤬, hold hostage or abandon the crew. Pirates go for food and necessities as well. These pirates are merciless and might just 🤬 anyone in their path. They are heavily armed with guns as well. I know that they have guns ranging from the AK47 to the UMP. Pirates usually go for less armed ships that are vulnerable. They usually avoid naval ships or coastal guard ships. Pirates use small motorboats instead of large cruisers in the 17th centuries.Piracy however, is the act of ransacking vessels and stealing the goods and cargo onboard.

Piracy is an act of basically criminal violence aboard another ship in coastal areas, with the goal of stealing cargo or many other valuable items. Piracy is done by a group of people called Pirates.

Narrow channels which funnel shipping into predictable routes have been creating opportunities for piracy, such as for commerce raiding.(A form of naval warfare that goes on ships and attacks its merchant shipping, rather than engaging in a fight with them. Piracy can also take place on land, like bandits and brigands.(Highway robbery or plunder.)They go about ambushing travellers, making them get injured or even die. Today, most pirates use small motorboats to travel in the water. They are armed with heavy automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades. They take advantage on small amounts of crew members on cargo vessels. They also use larger vessels, "mother ships", to supply the smaller motorboats.

Indonesia has the highest rate of piracy, followed by Somalia. Pirates could approach their target openly, run up the Jolly Roger, and accept the ship’s surrender. Or, the pirates could use smaller boats and board the enemy ship using grappling hooks and ropes. One of the pirates would disable the ship’s rudder to help prevent escape.

Pirates raided passing ships and were highly sought after by the French and English. Pirates were all over the place and were even in Singapore. I think when Sir Stamford Raffles came to Singapore, there were skulls on the beach because the pirates were raiding the inhabitants of Singapore, killing them, and throwing them overboard.

A pirate is a person who commits a crime while at sea.The crimes could be anything but usually involve robbery or violence.
Although people generally associate traditional pirates as those that caused trouble and mayhem in around the Caribbean in the 17th and 18th centuries, drinking grog and rum and speaking with some kind of Cornish accent, pirates have existed and still exist wherever there is water, which is just about everywhere. For example, the Vikings were also pirates.....
One of the most famous pirates is Blackbeard. His real name is Edward Teach, and he went around frightening people into giving him money and suchlike. Despite having a reputation of being a bit of a troublemaker, there is no record of him actually murdering any of his prisoners. However, he apparently walked around with lit fuses on his hat. He also had a peg leg due to losing one of his legs through diabetes.
Another famous pirate is William Kidd, also known as Captain Kidd. Although there is doubt about whether he was a proper pirate, he was still hanged in 1701mfor getting up to pirates antics. After his execution, his body was displayed in chains hanging above the River Thames for three years as a deterrent to other would-be pirates. Captain Kidd is said to have buried some of his treasure and thought that he may have been spared execution in return for revealing where his treasure may be located.(To be honest he’s kinda dumb...no offence Captain Kidd)
A favourite tipple of pirates was grog. Traditionally, grog was rum diluted with water or weak beer. It could be consumed cold or warm. To give flavour to this drink, sugar, lime juice or cinnamon would be added to the mixture.
The Jolly Roger, a flag featuring a skull and crossbones, or variations on the same theme (skeletons, death, and other fearsome imagery) is often associated with pirates. They were basically designed to frighten potential victims to surrendering their loot without having to put up a fight.
Most pirates didn’t actually use a Jolly Roger as their flag. Instead, they just used black flags.
Pirates feature in many forms of media. In literature, ‘Treasure Island’ and ‘Peter Pan’ use pirates as their inspiration. In video games, pirates inspire games such as ‘Sid Meier’s Pirates!’ and the ‘Secret of Monkey Island’ and its sequel. There are also numerous pirate movies, including ‘Hook’ and the ‘the Pirates of the Caribbean’ series is flims.
Every year on 19th September, it is the International ‘Talk Like A Pirate Day’, when it becomes perfectly acceptable to spend the day talking like a pirate.
Pirates wore earrings because they thought that they improved their eyesight - not as fashion accessories.
