Excerpt: ...almost beside himself with ioy, though he carefully refrained from letting his chieftain see it, knowing the consequences that would inevitably follow. This was the brief history he communicated to Seymore, who could but feel that a kind Providence had interposed to work out some good in Donald's preservation. CHAPTER VIII. 'rmz: EXPEDITION soarnsr PORTO BELLO. Tan crews of the several vessels that had been ordered in readiness were on boaid their respective ships, waiting the approach of their commander, who was rapidly nearing his vessel. Morgan had established as strict order on board his ships as could be found on a man-of-war of any country. He had transferred the stern discipline of the British navy to the men under his command. The well-scraped decks; the burnished binnacles; the neatly arranged muskets that stood lashed in their rack abaft the main-mast; the precision with which every rope was coiled under her bulwarks, showed the rigid order which controlled the entire organization on sea as well as on land. The piercing whistle of the boatswain on board the com mander's vessel, and the echoing answers of those on each of the other ships, with the hoarse cry of--" All hands on deck, ahoyl" soon brought into immediate activity their several nrews. The steady tramp of numerous feet, interspersed with a verse of some wild sea song, the hurried orders, the cheerful response. told the moment of starting had arrived. The anchor was hove short; the sails loosed and sheeted home; the forward yards braced aback, and the after yards filled away; the helm given sheer enough for the anchor to be tripped and then catted; the jib-sheet hauled to windward; and, as the vessels paid beautifully oil', the yards...

Book Pirate Women

  • Author : Laura Sook Duncombe
  • Publisher : Chicago Review Press
  • Release : 2017-04-01
  • ISBN : 1613736045
  • Pages : 164 pages

Download or read book Pirate Women written by Laura Sook Duncombe and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first-ever Seven Seas history of the world's female buccaneers, Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas tells the story of women, both real and legendary, who through the ages sailed alongside—and sometimes in command of—their male counterparts. These women came from all walks of life but had one thing in common: a desire for freedom. History has largely ignored these female swashbucklers, until now. Here are their stories, from ancient Norse princess Alfhild and warrior Rusla to Sayyida al-Hurra of the Barbary corsairs; from Grace O'Malley, who terrorized shipping operations around the British Isles during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I; to Cheng I Sao, who commanded a fleet of four hundred ships off China in the early nineteenth century. Author Laura Sook Duncombe also looks beyond the stories to the storytellers and mythmakers. What biases and agendas motivated them? What did they leave out? Pirate Women explores why and how these stories are told and passed down, and how history changes depending on who is recording it. It's the most comprehensive overview of women pirates in one volume and chock-full of swashbuckling adventures that pull these unique women from the shadows into the spotlight that they deserve.

Book Black Flags  Blue Waters  The Epic History of America s Most Notorious Pirates

Download or read book Black Flags Blue Waters The Epic History of America s Most Notorious Pirates written by Eric Jay Dolin and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With surprising tales of vicious mutineers, imperial riches, and high-seas intrigue, Black Flags, Blue Waters is “rumbustious enough for the adventure-hungry” (Peter Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle). Set against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the surprising history of American piracy’s “Golden Age” - spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s - when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. “Deftly blending scholarship and drama” (Richard Zacks), best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the Crown, and then violently opposed them. Through engrossing episodes of roguish glamour and extreme brutality, Dolin depicts the star pirates of this period, among them the towering Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey. Upending popular misconceptions and cartoonish stereotypes, Black Flags, Blue Waters is a “tour de force history” (Michael Pierce, Midwestern Rewind) of the seafaring outlaws whose raids reflect the precarious nature of American colonial life.
