Corsairs Gold
Pirates have always been significant members of our cultural consciousness – even before the days of swashbuckling Errol Flynn and dashing Johnny Depp, we had Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island to dazzle us with tales of buried treasure and dastardly villains. But lately, many historians, popular and otherwise, have been attempting to drive a point home, to plow these admittedly childish caricatures under with descriptions of violent and cruel corsairs on the high seas. The authorities, be they historical or political, remind the people whenever pirates become prominent in popular media, that these were in fact bad men. But is that the end of it? Is there more to be unraveled in this historical puzzle?
Pirates and History
The truth is, as is often the case, more interesting than any of the many fictions. It is difficult to cast judgment on pirates as a whole, because in general, they were just sailors and soldiers who changed professions. The law was fuzzy on the subject of piracy, so a completely legitimate privateer or merchant vessel might find themselves labeled pirate without any piratical action on their part. No doubt, many of these sea-going marauders were guilty as could be, but their actions as a whole suggest that they still thought of themselves as legitimate sailors. And apparently, so did many others.
