Description
David Cordingly reveals the truth behind the pirate legends of Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Sir Francis Drake, the fierce female brigands Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and others who rode and robbed upon the world's most dangerous waters. Here are the weapons they used, the ships they sailed, and the ways they fought -- and were defeated. This book also charts the paths of fictional pirates such as Captain Hook and Long John Silver.
