Pirates have long captured peoples' imaginations with images of
cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye-patches and buried treasure.
But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky,
sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for
everyone's survival. These 'Laws' were sets of rules that
determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their
plunder to compensation for injuries, to punishments and even the
entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the
'Pirates' Code', which all pirates had to publicly swear by. Using
primary sources such as eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings and
maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes
was the key to pirates' success in battle, on sea and on land.
