Summary of passage
Pirates, famous and mysterious, were daring adventurers on the high seas searching for treasure. The history of pirates dates back to the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th and 18th centuries. Pirates often started as sailors or privateers before turning to piracy for a more lucrative life. Blackbeard, a famous pirate, terrorized the seas around the Caribbean. Pirates had their own code of conduct and flag, but many were caught and executed by authorities. Despite their fearsome reputation, pirates live on in popular culture through books, movies, and TV shows. Pirates were real people who lived daring and dangerous lives on the high seas, making them fascinating figures in history.
