I Live In Ohio And My Temps Are Expired

, pirates and other seafarers





Buccaneers, buccaneers, corsairs ... many times we put them all in one bag: Pirates. But they all remain in our memory thanks to films and novels. Our vision is usually romantic, imagine how rogues that plied the seas in search of forbidden treasures. But in reality he? What were these people?

Disticiones
To discuss this issue must begin to distinguish certain things can be said that until the mid / late XVIIth century, privateers were indistinguishable from pirates. The English called it pirates or cossario. " Since this century began to use the word pirate in Spain, and with it were called to the sailors who did not respect the papal bull by which Spain dominated the Atlantic. You have to understand Corsair (derived from the patent Corso), like the sailor who is protected by at least one power, so their actions were legal. Pirates on the other hand were free in their actions and not depend on anyone. An example of converting pirate privateer, is Turtle Island (yes, that which appears in the film Pirates of the Caribbean, where everyone plays and drink without moderation) is found to be independent had to agree to serve the French.

should also mention an important aspect, maritime trade was risky, expensive and dangerous to the s. XVIII (England regulates maritime commerce) and all nations at some point have resorted to piracy to repay the investment.
The rise of piracy has political and economic reasons, nations used their privateers to diminish the wealth and power of their opponents and not only that, it was also a way to continue a war that is finished.

On with the definitions: buccaneer; These were considered the worst for piracy, were despised by everyone else. Appeared at the end of XVII century and settled in the Caribbean mainly stole from the English. Were mainly deserters, murderers, criminals and adventurers, established normally not more than 3 or 4 together. Wore a leather belt which had 3 or 4 knives. Were assembled with shotguns loaded with gunpowder called "buccaneer." One of his asepctos peculiar is that they were cazodores and stayed for long periods in the bush.

Now to talk about the filibuster. Appeared on 1630, mainly on Turtle Island. They were "semipiratas" as "medium" serving English and French navies. The English called them "pechelingues" because they spoke a language that mixed English with French words and Dutch esapoñolas. The most famous of the so-called filibusters, is the creation of the "Brethren of the Coast", this brotherhood partners intended to ensure the independent exercise of piracy. The governing council and decisions were made together, not persecuted members who left and had no criminal code. A curious fact is that there was no private property as such, if someone captured a ship, gave it to the guild so that he could use who needed it. Thus, when someone devised a felony, was chosen captain, will be delivered to a ship and when finished was returned to the guild. That dream faded when they lost pirate these "good" habits ", especially that of captain-elect, and that initially the captain was almost one more, ate the same, he made his bed, etc. Autoriadad was only true in time the battle.

Customs
the Black Bart said "In a usual honest work is work hard and earn little, the pirate life on the other hand, is the fullness and satiety, pleasure and fortune, freedom and power as well" .

pirates wore whatever they could, especially with what podíasn steal, used to wear hat or scarf covering the head and mid-calf pants. The Buccaneers do not wash these pants and never die, they left his best friend (have to see under what conditions was this pledge). Also used a sash to hold his arms and wearing a gold ring in the ear because he had crossed the Cape Horn or the Good Hope
Aboard used to eat turtle, fish and some beef jerky and rum (a classic pirate). It was customary to establish a code of conduct on the boat, for example, was often punish acts of cowardice or reward the first to see a ship to plunder.

The sea life, also had time for fun, be entertained with games very "educational"
"The Pulse , classic and simple game to give more emotion you put a hot iron on each side, and the loser will burn.
- Random Shots : born with this game of Russian roulette. Was to be locked in a dark room, one of which was carrying two pistols played at a given signal began to shoot and the other, of course, trying to dodge bullets.
- Given : Well, this game was to the prisoners, because some hackers were forced to play the head of the dice.
- Theater: Parody war trials were held in the Royal Navy.

Arms
wore guns had to be primed with each shot, knives and especially swords, and these tended to be slightly curved and single edged. And of course the ships were equipped with cannons that fired iron balls weighing between 5 and 10 kilos.

The end of piracy
The signing of the Treaty of Utrecht (1712-1716), which established the right to free navigation on America, marks the beginning of the end of piracy, and different governments that are interested in trading without incident. So the pirates were left without legal support for their looting, what happened with most of these pirates is that they became pirates and also attacked British ships, English, Portuguese ... without differences, and no nation had to obey. Thus, all became outlaws and in the decade of 1720 were swept by the different armies.

Pirates made history
Different captains have gone down in history for several actions, remember some of them:
Barbarossa: frightened the English Mediterranean coast.
Dragut: was a great enemy of Charles V, his career as a privateer came to the fore after the death of Dragut.
Francis Drake: Maybe it's the pirate more Fomos English, also feared by the English. Queen Elizabeth protected him unofficially.
Walter Raleigh: This pirate was also a courtier, poet and parliamentarian (very peculiar indeed his career). Tudor was Isable lover, until she seduced one of her bridesmaids and this put him in the Tower of London. He believed in the legend of El Dorado and tried to get him. Finally was beheaded by royal command.
Lolonois : The Frenchman has gone down in history for his cruelty, set up his headquarters in Turtle Island. But the most unusual of his biography, his death, was captured by cannibals in Darien, they tore him alive, roasted and ate.
Morgan: also was imprisoned in the Tower of London. After making his crimes protected by patent Corso and Charles II, was appointed deputy governor of Jamaica, and the funny thing is, it was a relentless pursuer of which were dedicated to the ancient craft. (His life was the basis for the novels "The Gold Cup" by John Steinbeck and "black swan" by Rafael Sabatini "

literature and film have given us a fairly sweetened of these marine ; on them have spilled rivers of ink and even Hollywood has surrendered to its charms. The most recent example: the trilogy of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the most classic "Treasure Island."
