9. A Pirate’s Life for me?“Yo ho, yo ho,” it’s a pirate’s
life for me.” Pirate’s lives were not as glamorous as books have portray them. Pirates made their living attacking merchant ships and inland towns the battles were brutal, and a pirate rarely lived long. Pirates were considered outlaws by all nations. They sailed under their own flag, the skull and crossbow, and lived by their own lose system of rules. These rules specified the share of the treasure each pirate received and the amount of compensation for lost limbs and other injuries. However very few of the pirates actually shared in the lavishly treasure chests of jewels and gold. Most was very poor, and many fared worst than beggars.
Pirates sailed under the skull and crossbones(aflagknownas theJollyRoger)andattackedmerchantshipsand townsalong theNorthandSouth American coasts. In the Caribbean Seaalone,treasuresworthmillionsofdollarslieburiedbeneaththewaves.
