- W2328175343 abstract "Piracy is the act of taking a ship on the high seas from the possession or control of those who are lawfully entitled to it. Therefore there was a traditional belief for centuries in England that the taking of a ship belonging to a power at war with England or taking one belonging to a non-treaty power was considered 'an honourable means of livelihood'. It was only when an English ship was attacked by a fellow countryman that this act was called piracy. One of the outstanding pirates who were captured and executed was Captain William Kidd (c. 1645-1701) who harassed the ships of the London East India Company on the seas along the southern coast of India. Consequently, because of his execution, the owners of English ships bound for India became more aware of the piratical dangers. Captain Kidd, however, cried out even on the scaffold that he was not guilty because he carried a letter of marque, a certificate of protection issued by the government when he left the land of America for the Island of Madagascar. I am not in a position now to discuss in detail whether or not he deserved execution, but I believe that Captain Kidd was made a pawn in a deadly political game.I have herein introduced three typical stories of pirates. The first is Sir Walter Scott's The Pirate published in 1822. The second is Captain Marryat's The Pirate published in 1836. The third one is taken from Pyle's Book of Pirates published in 1903. Pyle's book is a collection of the stories of pirates who sought their hideouts or dens on the small islands in the Caribbean Sea or on the eastern coast of America before the American Independence, or even after until telegraphic systems and steam-engines proved effective in pursuing those sea rovers." @default.
