The Pirates
The Pirates | Matthew West
9 posts | 1 to read
The thirty-year Golden Age of Piracy stretched into the early eighteenth century. During that time, as this vividly written book by historian Matthew West shows, poverty and oppression prompted many men - and even a few women - to sea in search of treasure, adventure, and sometimes, revenge. The treasure taken in a single trip could net a captain many times the profit an average sailor might expect to gain over a lifetime. The Pirates provides an exciting glimpse into the characters, crimes, and legends created by the buccaneers.

The coasters that I won from LibraryThing‘s Pirate Day ☠️Scavenger hunt arrived! So cute! 😺They have a Halloween scavenger hunt too (and it‘s much easier than the Pirate Day one). I get so giddy over winning their badges too. #LibraryThing

LibrarianRyan Me too! I had to earn my candy corn as soon as possible. 6y
CoffeeCatsBooks @LibrarianRyan Yes, I‘m sad I missed the Easter Egg Hunt. 6y

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I found all of the treasure chests! I was going crazy with riddle #9 😖😖😖😖😖 but I've prevailed and now can relax. Stupid competitive spirit. 😜 Let me know if you need any clues! #librarything #talklikeapirateday #treasurehunt

Well-ReadNeck I‘m impressed. There are a few clues I was pretty sure I know but I guess not, because I didn‘t get treasure. I still have quite a few to go!! 6y
biblio_ginger @Well-ReadNeck I wasn't able to get the treasure when I used my phone, I had to use my computer for it all to show up. If that helps 😊 6y

Do I need to be a sea lover to love pirates? Do I need to love sleep to be tired? Some books changed my life and the point of view through which I see. Historical or fiction, romance or action — I fell for Jack and I fell for Alosa, I freaking fell for Doyle.

When a company doesn't realize that you work at a different kind of theater 😂😂 We got this in the mail at the MOVIE theater the other day. I told my boss it came just for him 😁

laurieluna I personally would find it hella cold pirating in that skirt...😕 7y
GondorGirl What's with the wired up-skirt photo of that female pirate? #MisogynyMinute 7y
TaylorMay @miralunasbooknook @GondorGirl right?!? Lol I saw that odd angle after I posted. 7y
