Teacher: Read the interview and answer the questions.

1. What were languages of the sea?

2. Why was Kris motivated to write a book about piracy?

3. What is Francis Drake for most British?

4. Was Francis Drake celebrated for his actions?

5. Is it a myth that the pirates were always living well and living high?

6. Why did they like the Carribbean sea?

7. How did pirates guess that ship was carrying a really valuable things?

8. Why did pirates want to be the second when the ship had sunk?

9. What’s the difference between buccaneers of the Golden Age and the pirates of Somalia and part of Southern Asia?

Answers:

1. Spanish or Portuguese

2. It's a much more complicated story, in fact a pretty chaotic story. So he was motivated to write a book to try to sort some of that out.

3. Francis Drake is an outstanding naval hero for most British folks and that's kind of understood almost that he's a hero.

4. He was knighted, and he was very much celebrated for his actions.

5. Most of what the documentary evidence including their writings, that is when they leave behind journals, and they left behind a fair number. When they left behind these records they would say most of the time we spent searching for food and water.

6. They liked the Caribbean because they could bounce around relatively quickly from island to island. You have to sail days and days and days before you bump into a town, and the pirates are parasites.

7. They'll sometimes grab an African slave who's just paddling a canoe in a bay and say, "Tell us when the last ships came through, where they're going."

8. As soon as one goes down, you want to be the first one there. Actually, you want to be the second one there. The pirates are not so interested in diving themselves and digging around in the sand. They do it occasionally. The pirates there wait until the Spanish try to salvage those wrecks, and then they rob them as soon as they've done it.

9. The modern pirates are nothing like the pirates of the Golden Age. They're motivated just by simple greed and they're not really maritime people, that is, they don't spend a lot of time at sea.

Interview

Harmony Hunter: Hey, welcome to the podcast, I'm Harmony Hunter. Until fairly recently, piracy was a subject that was only encountered at the movies, but a surge in piracy in Somalia has brought renewed attention to the problem.

It's a subject that got us thinking about the roots of piracy. So we're on the campus of the college of William and Mary today to catch up with Kris Lane, who's a history professor here. Kris, thanks for having us.

Kris Lane: Thanks for having me.

Harmony Hunter: Well, you teach a course on piracy at the college, tell me a little bit about that course and how you developed this expertise.

Kris Lane: I thought, If I could offer, if not a corrective, at least an alternative perspective on the history of piracy that incorporated victim's points of view and looked at cross-overs, sort of pirates, trading with Spanish subjects as well as raiding Spanish towns and ships and learning Spanish and speaking Spanish or Portuguese as languages of the sea.

They have Spanish renegades acting as pirates and escaped slaves from places like Havana who are also engaged in piracy. I quickly found it's a much more complicated story, in fact a pretty chaotic story. So I was motivated to write a book to try to sort some of that out.

Harmony Hunter: What are some of the other common sort of misconceptions that get carried along with these myths of piracy?

Kris Lane: What I find is the tension in my work is, the myths about piracy. We can find enough documentary evidence to debunk them. Then if we want to support them we'll find that documentary evidence too.

He survives, and is interrogated by local officials, and they story he will tell is usually, "These guys are completely crazy. They're drunk, they're crazy, they're mutinous, I don't understand their audacity. They'll literally do anything." And that image, that exaggerated image of pirate audacity and drunkenness and wildness is supported by the documents.

Harmony Hunter: This may seem like an impossible question given what you've just told us about how hard it is to say what a pirate is, but what is a pirate? Who is a pirate? What do you tell your students on the first day of class?

Kris Lane: The term itself is loaded and contextual. That part of the study of history is trying to find out in what context is a person labeled as belonging to a particular group.

Let's just say, here's an example where Francis Drake is an outstanding naval hero for most British folks and that's kind of understood almost that he's a hero. He was knighted, and he was very much celebrated for his actions.

He, from a Spanish perspective, was a pirate. That's the term that Spanish folks used, "pirata." They feared him, they in a way, mythologized him in a very negative way in his own lifetime, but whether he was a pirate or not depends on who you believe. From the Spanish perspective he was, because he raided during peacetime. That is, when Spain and England were not officially at war, Drake still raided Spanish ships and targets. So in those contexts, he was a pirate, but he had tacit approval from Elizabeth.

Harmony Hunter: Piracy is also sort of an industry that comes out of a certain set of economic circumstances.

Kris Lane: I would say that another myth that we have, that the pirates are always living well and living high, most of what the documentary evidence including their writings, that is when they leave behind journals, and they left behind a fair number. When they left behind these records they would say most of the time we spent searching for food and water.

As soon as we found food and water, we'd go after a ship. They liked the Caribbean because they could bounce around relatively quickly from island to island. You have to sail days and days and days before you bump into a town, and the pirates are parasites.

Harmony Hunter: Pirates are actually fairly ingenious when it comes to this parasitic behavior that you mentioned. They plunder not only sailing ships but sunken ships.

Kris Lane: They don't care about the victims of course, they care about the booty. But what they're doing is trying to make sure they can identify what ships are carrying really valuable things.

So the pirates are really keen on information. So like modern criminals I guess, they're really anxious to capture people who know. They'll sometimes grab an African slave who's just paddling a canoe in a bay and say, "Tell us when the last ships came through, where they're going."

The Florida Straits are a perfect graveyard for ships. As soon as one goes down, you want to be the first one there. Actually, you want to be the second one there. The pirates are not so interested in diving themselves and digging around in the sand. They do it occasionally. The pirates there wait until the Spanish try to salvage those wrecks, and then they rob them as soon as they've done it.

Harmony Hunter: You're a scholar of the Golden Age of Piracy, do you see any connections between the piracy that was happening then, and the piracy that's happening now? Are there the same type of economic motivators, the same types of people being drawn to it?

Kris Lane: I wouldn't call it a perfect revival or a kind of carbon copy of the past, but I would say that there are a lot of patterns that are very similar. The modern pirates are nothing like the pirates of the Golden Age. They're motivated just by simple greed and they're not really maritime people, that is, they don't spend a lot of time at sea.

Whereas the buccaneers of the Golden, these are your sea people, they are more comfortable on a vessel than they are on land. They spend most of their time sailing around looking for things. The pirates of Somalia and parts of Southeast Asia, they might be very comfortable in boats, they might be fishing people, but for the most part, they're not traveling long great distances from place to place searching for plunder. They're kind of staying close to home.

Harmony Hunter: Kris, thanks so much for being our guest today.

Kris Lane: My pleasure.

The life and death of Blackbeard the Pirate

The 1710s have been called the “golden age of piracy.” Pirate ships roamed the Atlantic Ocean, preying upon busy commercial ports in the West Indies and along the coast of North America. One of the most __ (1)__ to North Carolina and it was here, in November 1718, that he was captured and killed.

Edward Teach was from Bristol, England, a town on the Avon River in southwest England, which produced many pirates. Teach served on a privateer during Queen Anne’s War (1701–1714). Privateering was, in a sense, legalized piracy. The British government authorized private ships____ (2) _____, with the proceeds divided between the Queen and the crew of the privateer. When the war ended, Teach was faced with the prospect of losing his livelihood and the great potential for adventure and profit that it promised.

While he was terrorizing commercial ports along the coast of North America,_(4)__. Blackbeard was widely feared for his violence and cruelty and cultivated a fierce appearance to intimidate his victims.

There is an inlet there today still known as “Teach’s Hole.” North Carolina was also a popular refuge for pirates because of its governor, Charles Eden, who was widely rumored to have ignored the illegal activities of the pirates in exchange for a share of the spoils. The people of North Carolina, tired of seeing their ships attacked and goods stolen, and frustrated at their own government’s failure to act, turned to the governor of Virginia for help.

Governor Alexander Spotswood of Virginia gathered a crew of British Naval officers, led by Lieutenant R. Maynard, and sent them to Ocracoke where Blackbeard was known to be hiding. In a fierce fight beginning at dawn on November 22, 1718, the British sailors attacked and defeated Blackbeard and his crew. After suffering twenty-five wounds, including five from gunshots, Blackbeard finally died. Lieutenant Maynard, __(5)___to claim the bounty offered by Governor Spotswood, beheaded the pirate and hung his severed head from the front of the ship as it sailed home.

The Golden Age of Piracy

Our world is intrigued by piracy, and it is evident in popular culture. Some children grow up on classics like, Treasure Island and Peter Pan, while teens and even adults flock to the movie theaters for the latest (1) of the Caribbean film. Most modern ideas about pirates stem from The Golden Age of Piracy.

The exact dates of the Golden Age of Piracy have been debated, but most (2) recognize it between 1650-1730, with the most prominent piratical activities between 1716-1726. There were many reasons for the (3) of piracy during this period. First, the world was expanding through colonization, or a migration of people from multiple nations. The primary colonizers included the French, Spanish, Dutch, English, and the (4) . The majority of colonization was occurring in the New World, or the Americas. Secondly, many of the new colonial territories were not properly governed and (5) enough men to protect them from pirate attacks.

Factors contributing to piracy during the Golden Age included the rise in quantities of (6) cargoes being shipped to Europe over vast ocean areas, reduced European navies in certain regions, the training and experience that many sailors had gained in European navies (particularly the Royal Navy), and (7) government in European overseas colonies. The colonial powers at the time constantly fought with pirates and engaged in several notable battles and other related events.

Between 1713 and 1714, a succession of peace treaties were signed which ended the War of the Spanish Succession (also called "Queen Anne's War"). With the end of this conflict, thousands of seamen, including Britain's paramilitary privateers, were relieved of military duty. The (8) was a large number of trained, idle sailors at a time when the cross-Atlantic colonial shipping trade was beginning to boom.

Shipping traffic between Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe began to soar in the 18th century, a model that was known as Triangular Transatlantic Slave Trade, and was a rich target for piracy. Trade (9) sailed from Europe to the African coast, trading manufactured goods and weapons for slaves. The traders would then sail to the Caribbean to sell the slaves, and return to Europe with goods such as sugar, tobacco and cocoa.

As part of the war's settlement, Britain obtained Spanish government contract, to supply slaves to Spain's new world colonies, providing British traders and smugglers more access to the traditionally closed Spanish markets in America. This arrangement also (10) heavily to the spread of piracy across the western Atlantic at this time.
