About this ebook
Pirates are thieves who roam the seas. They prey on ships to steal their cargoes and valuables.
Pirates have been around ever since the invention of boats! There is even an old tale that Caesar Augustus was captured by pirates and held for ransom. This happened before he became Emperor of Rome.
However, when we think of pirates, we often think of those dashing adventurers that roamed the seas seeking and stealing treasure during the 17th and 18th centuries.
