Pirates are often thought of with tropical Irelands in the Caribbean. Generally these Caribbean Islands were the perfect places to hide when they were planning to launch an attack on merchant vessels. Pirates would hang out in safe havens where their ships could be repaired safely. Most of these Islands would have plenty of fresh food such as fish, cattle and fruit. The seas would be full of Merchant ships which would be carrying gold, silver and other valuables. This would be perfect bounty for pirates.
There were also other pirates such as Barbary Corsairs who sailed from the African Coast. Pirates were also very able seamen and would constantly be in the hunt for treasures. Pirates have often made the big screen with Captain Blackbeard, Captain Hook and of course most recently Captain Jack Sparrow.
