The Best-ever Book of Pirates

By David Cordingly and Philip Steele

Book Overview

Take a look back at what it was like to be a pirate; find out who they were and how they lived, and learn of their swashbuckling adventures. Discover what it was really like to sail the Seven Seas in a creaking timber sailing ship, to dodge angry naval patrols and capture a Spanish galleon filled with gold and gems. Practical piratical projects show you how to serve up hard tack crackers, make a treasure chest, fashion a cutlass, dress like a pirate captain and much much more. This fascinating and exciting voyage of discovery crosses the centuries and takes you from the Caribbean to the South China Sea on a series of adventures you will never forget.
