'The end of most of the pirates and a large proportion of the buccaneers was a sudden and violent one, and few of them died in their beds. Many were killed in battle, numbers of them were drowned. Not a few drank themselves to death with strong Jamaica rum, while many of the buccaneers died of malaria and yellow fever contracted in the jungles of Central America, and most of the pirates who survived these perils lived only to be hanged.' Philip Gosse’s biographical dictionary of 'The Pirates’ Who’s Who' originally published in 1924. This edition is expanded with an extensive index for easy reference. A true literary gem.

  • The Pirates’ Who’s Who
    Philip Gosse
    To write a whole history of piracy would be a great undertaking, but a very interesting one. Piracy must have begun in the far, dim ages, and perhaps when some naked savage, paddling himself across a tropical river, met with another adventurer on a better tree-trunk, or carrying a bigger bunch of bananas, the first act of piracy was committed. Indeed, piracy must surely be the ...

This volume does not pretend to be a history of piracy, but is simply an attempt to gather together, from various sources, particulars of those redoubtabl...
