This is a prototype of my Final Project<\/a>. It is about pirates and how they shaped the Atlantic through privateering and raiding ships. Though it is far from being finished, it will showcase the origins of Atlantic piracy, maps of the Caribbean (where most of the pirate activity happened) and the truth behind the ravenous thieves of the sea. It will have some background information of famous pirates like Edward Teach a.k.a. Blackbeard and Captain Henry Morgan and how they rose to fame (or infamy I should say). You can check out the maps and the pictures all you want and get a feel for what pirates were like back during the so called \u201cGolden Age\u201d of piracy during the 1600s-1700s. Arrrgh ye ready for a swashbuckling adventure, matey?<\/p>\n
