Famous Privateersmen and Adventurers of the Sea

Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Feb. 19, 2015) , 1 edition
Famous Privateersmen and Adventurers of the Sea is a classic collection of pirate biographies by Charles H. L. Johnston. Of sea fighters there have been many: the pirate, the fillibusterer, the man-of-warsman, and the privateer. The first was primarily a ruffian and, secondarily, a brute, although now and again there were pirates who shone by contrast only. The fillibusterer was also engaged in lawless fighting on the sea and to this service were attracted the more daring and adventurous souls who swarmed about the shipping ports in search of employment and pelf.
