Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE • A thrilling adventure of danger and deep-sea diving, historic mystery and suspense, by the author of Shadow Divers Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time. If Chatterton and Mattera succeed, they will make history—it will be just the second time ever that a pirate ship has been discovered and positively identified. Soon, however, they realize that cutting-edge technology and a willingness to lose everything aren’t enough to track down Bannister’s ship. They must travel the globe in search of historic documents and accounts of the great pirate’s exploits, face down dangerous rivals, battle the tides of nations and governments and experts. But it’s only when they learn to think and act like pirates—like Bannister—that they become able to go where no pirate hunters have gone before. Fast-paced and filled with suspense, fascinating characters, history, and adventure, Pirate Hunters is an unputdownable story that goes deep to discover truths and souls long believed lost. Praise for Pirate Hunters “You won’t want to put [it] down.”—Los Angeles Times “An exceptional adventure . . . Highly recommended to readers who delight in adventure, suspense, and the thrill of discovering history at their fingertips.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A terrific read . . . The book gallops along at a blistering pace, shifting us deftly between the seventeenth century and the present day.”—Diver “Nonfiction with the trademarks of a novel: the plots and subplots, the tension and suspense . . . [Kurson has] found gold.”—The Dallas Morning News “Rollicking . . . a fascinating [story] about the world of pirates, piracy, and priceless treasures.”—The Boston Globe “[Kurson’s] narration is just as engrossing as the subject.”—The Christian Science Monitor “A wild ride [and an] extraordinary adventure . . . Kurson’s own enthusiasm, combined with his copious research and an eye for detail, makes for one of the most mind-blowing pirate stories of recent memory, one that even the staunchest landlubber will have a hard time putting down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The two contemporary pirate-ship seekers of Mr. Kurson’s narrative are as daring, intrepid, tough and talented as Blood and Sparrow—and Bannister. . . . As depicted by the author, they are real-life Hemingway heroes.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Kurson] takes his knowledge of the underwater world and applies it to the ‘Golden Age of Piracy’ . . . thrillingly detailing the highs and lows of chasing not just gold and silver but also history.”—Booklist “A great thriller full of tough guys and long odds . . . and: It’s all true.”—Lee Child

Download or read book Pirate Hunting written by Benerson Little and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years pirates, privateers, and seafaring raiders have terrorized the ocean voyager and coastal inhabitant, plundering ship and shore with impunity. From the victim's point of view, these attackers were not the rebellious, romantic rulers of Neptune's realm, but savage beasts to be eradicated, and those who went to sea to stop them were heroes. Engaging and meticulously detailed, Pirate Hunting chronicles the fight against these plunderers from ancient times to the present and illustrates the array of tactics and strategies that individuals and governments have employed to secure the seas. Benerson Little lends further dimension to this unending battle by including the history of piracy and privateering, ranging from the Mycenaean rovers to the modern pirates of Somalia. He also introduces associated naval warfare; maritime commerce and transportation; the development of speed under oar, sail, and steam; and the evolution of weaponry. More than just a vivid account of the war that seafarers and pirates have waged, Pirate Hunting is invaluable reading in a world where acts of piracy are once more a significant threat to maritime commerce and voyagers. It will appeal to readers interested in the history of piracy, anti-piracy operations, and maritime, naval, and military history worldwide.

Download or read book The Pirate Hunter written by Richard Zacks and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2003-06-18 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody knows the legend of Captain Kidd, America's most ruthless buccanneer. Few people realize that the facts of his life make for a much better tale. Kidd was actually a tough New York sea captain hired to chase pirates, a married war hero whose secret mission took a spectacularly bad turn. This harrowing tale traces Kidd's voyages in the 1690s from his home near Wall Street to Whitehall Palace in London, from the ports of the Caribbean to a secret pirate paradise off Madagascar. Author Richard Zacks, during his research, also unearthed the story of a long forgotten rogue named Robert Culliford, who dogged Kidd and led Kidd's crew to mutiny not once but twice. The lives of Kidd and Culliford play out like an unscripted duel: one man would hang in the harbor, the other would walk away with the treasure. Filled with superb writing and impeccable research, The Pirate Hunter is both a masterpiece of historical detective work and a ripping good yarn, and it delivers something rare: an authentic pirate story for grown-ups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brave Pirate Captain and the Sea Monsters Here's a brief summary of the story: The exciting story of Captain Oliver and his loyal crew on the beautiful ship Sapphire Serpent takes us to a world where bravery and adaptability are highly valued. Pirates in the past, Captain Oliver and his gang went through a big change that changed how they felt about the water and how the story of piracy is told. At first, their trip is exciting because they don't know what to expect and they might find buried riches. They are brave pirates who sail the open sea without fear because they want to find treasure and new adventures. But the most important part of their trip is when they find a secret island where dangerous sea animals live. Even though his friends are afraid and warn him not to, Captain Oliver takes his crew with full confidence to the Island of the Sea Monsters. They go into the unknown, where strange noises and a foggy beach make them scared. But they keep going because they believe in his guidance. With swords and guns drawn, they move toward the green but spooky island. The focus of their research is an old, overgrown temple that is guarded by stone statues that look like aquatic life. Because Captain Oliver is determined to figure out the island's secrets, they try to solve more of its puzzles. Inside the temple, they find an amazing treasure room full of gold coins, rare gems, and other beautiful things. Their success is short-lived, though, because giant sea monsters that look like snakes come out of the statues and attack them. Over the course of several hours, the crew's patience is tried, but Captain Oliver's unwavering spirit keeps them going. As the fight goes on, Captain Oliver comes up with a daring plan. He tells his crew to lead the sea monsters back into the water. He jumps onto one of the creatures and puts a huge knife through its shining eye, which makes the other one run away. When the crew finds out that Captain Oliver and the sea monsters have run away to the ocean's depths, it takes away from their moment of victory. When they get back to the Sapphire Serpent, they are sad and have changed a lot. They understand that their captain and the money are gone, but that their newfound respect for the secrets of the water is a much better prize. The sea splitting to show Captain Oliver's return is a sign that their story will end in a miraculous way. His knowledge and the change in the team lead to a new plan to protect the ocean and its animals. They go from being thieves to being brave protectors and defenders of the world under the sea. They go all over the world to save marine animals, protect coral reefs, and promote marine protection. They have become well-known for their brave defense of the water, which has inspired people and groups all over the world to do the same. Since Captain Oliver and his crew changed the way people think about pirates for good, the world has never been the same. Plundering and being greedy are replaced by brave duty and working together, which reminds people of how important it is to protect and care for the environment. So, their story lives on as a story of daring, bravery, and bold guardianship. It is a lesson that we all have the power to change and the duty to protect the treasures that lie beneath the water. This is how the story starts: A brave pirate captain named Captain Oliver used to live where the sea and the sky meet. Captain Oliver was known all over the world for his constant love of excitement and lack of fear. As he crossed the vast ocean with his loyal crew on the beautiful ship "Sapphire Serpent," his heart was full of the excitement of the unknown, and their eyes sparkled with the promise of secret wealth. The pirate Captain Oliver was not like the others. He went to the sea not only because he wanted to steal and get rich, but also because he was very interested in the world and wanted to learn more about it. His team worked hard because he was interested in how big the ocean was and how many things could happen there. They were more than just sea pirates. They were also explorers, dreamers, and people who thought the world beyond the sky was magical. The tall "Sapphire Serpent" was a sight to see, with its dark blue sails and black hull. It is said that it was made by skilled shipwrights who put their hearts and souls into every plank and nail. Its figurehead was a beautifully carved sapphire snake that seemed to come to life at night and watch over the crew as they went on dangerous journeys. This ship was more than just a way for them to get around. It was also their home and a place of safety in the middle of the vast seas. The crew of Captain Oliver was as different as the sea. People from all walks of life, from crusty old sailors to wide-eyed kids, were attracted to their brave leader's charisma. Everyone has a unique story to tell, made up of hopes, regrets, and dreams from their past. They became close because they all liked to try new things and cared about each other. Their travels took them to some of the world's most remote places, where not many people had gone before. They saw old secrets and fought through fierce storms that put their strength to the test. Captain Oliver was not only good at leading his team, but he was also a good teacher. He taught them how to navigate and the value of trust and friendship. He thinks that the real treasures are not gold or jewelry, but the bonds that people make with each other on their trip. One bad day, as the "Sapphire Serpent" sailed through blue seas, they found an old map that had been lost for a long time. The map was supposed to lead to the "Isle of Eternal Dreams," a place that sailors whispered about. It was said to hold the keys to wealth, knowledge, and living forever. Captain Oliver and his team decided to follow the mysterious symbols on the map. Their hearts were racing, and they were excited. It took them by islands no one had ever seen before, through dangerous rivers, and right into the middle of the angry sea. They ran into problems that put their faith to the test in a way that had never happened before. Despite everything, they kept going because they trusted each other and had a strong will. After months of hard journey, they finally reached the mythical Isle of Eternal Dreams. The island was a green paradise with emerald woods, waterfalls, and strange animals they had never seen before. Following the directions on the map, they went deep into the island's center and found a secret room with old books, sparkling gems, and a sparkling fountain. Captain Oliver was humbled by how big of a find they had made. He understood that the real treasure was not the money in front of him, but the knowledge they had gained, the experiences they had shared, and the strong bond that held his crew together. He knew that the most valuable things in life were the desire to learn and to try new things. As they sailed away from the island, their sails were full, and their spirits were high. They knew that there were many more places to discover and that their journey was not over. Captain Oliver and his team kept exploring the vast ocean, never giving up and always looking for new things to see. They understood that where the sea and the sky met, the most important things were the ones you carried in your heart, not the ones you could hold in your hands. They kept sailing, always looking to the horizon for their next big experience. There are stories and legends about Captain Oliver and his loyal crew that are told all over the seven seas. People from far away told stories about the brave pirate captain who went out to find both worldly and spiritual riches. The "Sapphire Serpent" came to stand for bravery, optimism, and the understanding that life's greatest treasures are not always things. Along the way, they met sailors, traders, and pirates from all over the world. Captain Oliver was true to his nature and tried to avoid bloodshed whenever he could. He thought that people could get along better on the high seas if they understood each other and worked together. Because he was charming and his team was seen as honest explorers, they often made friends in strange places. Over time, the crew of the "Sapphire Serpent" became known for their acts of kindness and bravery. They would help poor coastal towns, save sailors who had been lost, and share their wealth with those who had less. Because Captain Oliver was a caring and understanding leader, every member of his team learned how to be caring and understanding. As word spread about how popular they were, kings and queens asked Captain Oliver to share his knowledge and experience at their courts. He became a trusted advisor to kings and a supporter of keeping peace around the world. His impact went far beyond the coast, and he used it to bring people together and help them understand each other.
