Pirates! Gentlemen of the sea. For many centuries, their names inspired fear in people. Captain Flint, Jack Sparrow, John Silver, James Hook... The list goes on for a long time! Thunderstorm of the royal fleet, cunning and treacherous, "people without honor and conscience", tireless adventurers. Read about such fearless marines below.
1 Jetrow Flint (1680-1718)
The famous Captain Flint begins our selection today. Despite the fact that this is the name of a fictional character created by the thought of the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, his mention is worthy of this collection. Flint was a merciless man. This is confirmed by the famous pirate song, which contains the words - "Fifteen people for a dead man's chest, yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum." It was fifteen people who unwittingly witnessed the place where Flint buried his treasures. And with that, they signed their own death warrant.
2 Henry Morgan (1635-1688)
The name of this pirate, we know from the film "Hearts of Three", based on the novel of the same name by Jack London.
However, unlike the previous participant in our selection, Henry Morgan really existed. He was not only a pirate, but also a man who helped England gain control over the entire Caribbean region. For this, he received the rank of Governor of Jamaica. However, the sea could not part with its favorite, and as a result of the earthquake, the cemetery where the old pirate was buried went under water. The cause of Morgan's death was liver disease, caused by the indefatigable use of rum, a favorite drink of pirates.
3 Francis Drake (1540-1596)
Despite the fact that Francis was born in the family of a priest, he was not an exemplary Christian. This was facilitated by the blessing of the Queen of England, who was ready for anything, if only the Spaniards were not the leading power in the world. At 18, Drake becomes the captain of a pirate ship that robs and destroys Spain's property. In 1572, he participated in the capture of the Spanish "Silver Caravan", thanks to which he brought 30,000 kg of silver to the treasury. In addition, with the desire to visit unknown countries, Drake was a participant. Thanks to her, the treasury of England received an income that was three times the size of its annual budget. In addition, the British got acquainted with the then exotic vegetable - potatoes. For this, Drake was knighted and received the rank of admiral.
4 William Kidd (1645-1701)
His fate has become a reminder to all pirates of the inevitable punishment. By a court verdict, he was executed, and his body was placed on display in a metal cage in London for more than 23 years. The reason for this was the pirate antics of Kidd, who was a real disaster not only for the French, but also for the British.
This name is forever entered into the annals of piracy. The life of this girl is a continuous series of love and adventurous adventures. In the beginning, she is a pirate along with her father. Then, after the death of her father, she herself becomes the leader of the Owen clan. With a saber in hand and loose hair, she made her enemies tremble. However, this did not stop her from loving and being loved. The mother of four children, even when she was no longer young, continued to raid. At the same time, she rejected the proposal of the Queen of England to enter the service of Her Royal Majesty.
6 Olivier (Francois) le Vasseur (1690-1730)
One of the most famous pirates, whose homeland was France. Without taking a direct part in the pirate raids against the British and Spaniards, Vasser, meanwhile, received the lion's share of all booty. The reason for this was the island of Tortuga (present-day Haiti), which this talented engineer turned into an impregnable fortress and became a haven for pirating elements. There is a legend that during the years of managing the island, he saved up more than 235 million pounds. But his character, which deteriorated over time, played a cruel joke with him, as a result of which he became food for sharks. Gold, which has not been found so far, remains hidden somewhere on the islands in the middle of the world's oceans.
7 William Dampier (1651-1715)
Despite the fact that William Damir's main occupation was piracy, he is also considered the father of modern oceanography. This is explained by the fact that he not only pirated, but also described all his travels and what was connected with them. The result of this was a book called A New Journey Around the World.
8 Zheng Shi (1785-1844)
"Night Butterfly", who first became the wife and then the widow of the famous pirate Zheng Yi, she inherited more than 400 ships after the death of her husband, which were a thunderstorm merchant fleet China. The strictest discipline was introduced on the ships, which put an end to such pirate liberties as the robbery of allies and violence against prisoners. In addition, Zheng Shi is known in history as the owner of brothels and the patroness of gambling.
9 Arouge Barbarossa (1473-1518)
Potter's son. His homeland was the island of Lesvos. Probably because he did not find his great love on it, or perhaps because of the capture of the island by the Turks, Barbarossa becomes a pirate at the age of 16. After 4 years, he concludes an agreement with the authorities of Tunisia, according to which he can create his own base on one of the islands, and in return, he shares a percentage of the profits. Soon he becomes Sultan of Algeria. However, as a result of a clash with the Spaniards, he was killed. His successor was a younger brother known as Barbaross II.
10 Edward Teach (1680–1718)
This name not without reason frightened the British and French governments. Thanks to his courage and cruelty, Teach soon became one of the most feared pirates operating in the Jamaica area. By 1718, more than 300 men were fighting under him. The enemies were horrified by Tich's face, almost completely covered with a black beard, in which the wicks woven into it smoked. In November 1718, Teach was overtaken by the English lieutenant Maynardt and, after a short trial, was hung up on a yardarm. It was he who became the prototype of the legendary Jetrow Flint, from Treasure Island.
A fair wind, a hold full of treasures and no dull everyday life - solid adventures. Yes, sometimes exciting, but even more fun! And after the screen acquaintance with Jack Sparrow, the pirate party for adults has become almost the most favorite holiday theme for Halloween, birthdays, corporate meetings and even weddings!
Decor
To start decide whether the design will be cartoonish or cinematic. In the first case, almost all the scenery will have to be drawn, cut, painted. There are cartoon attributes for a pirate party in stores - garlands, disposable tableware, flags, boats, etc.
This is a more economical option when you just want to have fun with friends without scrupulously thinking through decorations. Perfect for a family holiday with many children. Read more.
If we are talking about a party in the style of pirates of the Caribbean, the design is supposed to be more realistic. This does not mean that you need to completely abandon the bright holiday paraphernalia. It’s just that the interior in the end should turn out more like a scene from a movie than like a kindergarten hall hung with colorful decorations.
The colors of the evening are black, white-red and white-blue stripes, red and blue, brown. Some attributes can be decorated with "precious" stones. The interior should have silver and gold - spray paint, sparkles.
Easy to implement ideas for a pirate party:
- remove anything that obviously doesn't fit the theme. Close what is difficult to remove. For this print and glue on thick cardboard (or draw) ships, chests, etc. Replace inappropriate paintings with photos, movie posters, Jolly Roger flags, sails, fishing nets;
- the ceiling can be closed with cuts of fabric, freely hanging in waves - the same imitation of nets and/or sails;
- it is advisable to choose furniture rough, wooden or wicker. Instead of chairs, benches, backless stools and even drawers will fit perfectly.;
If the comfort of the guests is a priority, drape regular chairs-armchairs. For a pirate-style party, chiffon, tulle, burlap, nets - tulle, paint, mosquito are suitable.
- tie marine knots from thick ropes, hang on walls, chair backs, ceiling. On the net here and there, attach seahorses and stars, crabs, fish, algae;
- arrange barrels, roughly knocked together boxes, fake guns. Forged lanterns, treats in large bowls, deliberately soiled bottles of rum can be placed on barrel boxes;
- certainly use candles in decoration, you can simulate battery-powered. "Vintage" candlesticks are easy to make with your own hands, for example, from aluminum cans(painted with silver/gold). Atmospheric look candles in "dirty" bowls, glass jars with shells and sand;
- if you decide to organize a Halloween pirate party, do not skimp on gloomy details - skeletons, cobwebs and spiders, the bats , creepy sea monsters, gravestones, ghosts (cardboard, figurines, silhouettes);
- make anchors, life buoys out of cardboard / plywood, hang and lay out old maps. Great if you can find a marine compass, spyglass, sextant, barometer, telescope. If not, print the photo, cut it out and glue it onto a cardboard base;
- use fake gems, pearls, silverware in compositions, coins and antique jewelry, symbolizing innumerable treasures. Put the most valuable loot into chests. A real pirate chest is still an anachronism, so it's better to spend time gluing a paper / cardboard template. Although, if desired, you can put together a pirate chest from a base-box or plywood, chipboard. Caskets are also suitable - carved wooden ones, without colorful drawings.
- although this is an adult pirate party, but without bright festive accents, the decor will turn out to be too gloomy. Add colors:
- garlands of recognizable paraphernalia and pirate accessories - ships, flags, anchors, skeletons, figurines of pirates, weapons, sea monsters;
- knotted ribbon decoration on a clothesline or sisal rope (imitation of a rope) they will enliven the space (the fabric is better striped, blue or red and white, plus flags with a skull / bones);
- buy stylized balloons or draw themed attributes on red, black, blue balloons.
photozone
- If you are having an outdoor party, build a "facade" of a pirate ship from improvised materials. Place stools at the back for guests to climb onto the deck. Cut out porthole windows in the board.
- Tantamaresque- a brave company of pirates celebrates a successful trip, divides the loot, etc. Cardboard base, print over, windows for faces. Or organize a space - scenery for the selected scene.
- Boat on a blue background with clouds. In the foreground of the photo zone are paper lambs of waves. We climb inside, take pirate accessories - a map, a spyglass, a bottle of rum (who cares).
- Banner with photos of movie pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean is especially popular. You can print on the banner repeating photos of characters or your favorite movie scene.
- Black Pearl cabin, captain's bridge, etc. More suitable for indoor party. Although it can be organized on the street, only the background will have to be covered with wooden shields or a photo zone should be placed against the wall of the house, barn, in front of the fence.
invitations
It's great if invitations to a pirate party reflect the level of preparation for the holiday. If the decorations are simple-cartoon, so should the invitations.
All on highest level? Aged paper, elegant vintage font, pearls, silver.
- rolled up message in a corked bottle with rock shells;
- paper pirate schooner, matches, wooden modelka. Text on the sail or in the hold;
- card with burnt, frayed edges. Schematically the road to the venue of the party (mark several main points on the way). Text over the background map;
- Black label. Text on the spread of the postcard;
- miniature paper chests. The text on the letter inside, in a placer of chocolate coins, sweets in foil.
Come up with pirate nicknames for guests if this moment is not included in the script. Include pirate slang and recognizable phrases in the invitation. Time, place, dress code and more official information write in the corner below or on the card attached to the invitation.
On the sixth day, the company of the most notorious pirates gathers on the deck *Name of the ship, cafe*. And you are one of them, *Guest name*
There will be something to fill the holds and wet the throat. Shake the bones in the company of young and very generous girls. A sea urchin in your ass if you don't come!
P.S: Rumor has it that in addition to drinking to the devils, the old *Organizer's name* is preparing an exciting and profitable business for us!
Suits
Girls in the image of a lady - a dress and hairstyle are retro, elegant, with a needle. Or tomboys, seductive bandits - torn stockings, fishnet suspenders, a retro-style short skirt, a corset with a deep neckline, a creative mess on the head, bright makeup.
Just in time for a pirate party costumes in unisex style. Forgetting for a moment about the stupid bike about women on ships, the ladies can transform into the most charming members of the crew. In this case, the clothes only differ in execution from the men's pirate costume - more open and not so baggy.
Options:
- vest in blue or red stripes. For girls - with a deep neckline, lowered on one shoulder, tied under the bust with a knot, etc .;
- The image of a pirate girl It is easy to recreate from a couple of elements of clothing: a short dress with a deep neckline, fluffy skirt and wide sleeves, over which a fitted leather tank top is thrown over or a miniature corset is put on. Themed accessories complete the look.
- white or cream shirt. The sleeves are loose, better with puffy cuffs. "Pirate" cuffs and frills are easy to sew with your own hands or assemble with an elastic band (put on like a bracelet, fasten with buttons, on eyelets, etc.);
- not in the heat in nature is appropriate pirate frock coat, camisole, vest, leather cloak. But indoors/in the sun they are burdensome. It is better to take a couple of photos and take off your outerwear. Or let this part of the costume be made of light fabric, fake;
- cropped breeches, like Jack Sparrow. Baggy pants, loose, tucked into boots. Leather trousers, ladies - tight, close-fitting. Boots with high tops, fabric ones are more convenient: fake tops are sewn directly to the trousers. Short boots or high heels are suitable for girls. Tight stockings and closed shoes in color will pass for over the knee boots.
Clothes can be perforated in several places, disheveled, aged. So the image will turn out to be more natural - a battered camisole, an unwashed shirt, trampled boots. Transfer tattoos are also in the subject.
Enthusiasts willing to take the time to create an elaborate costume have plenty to choose from: William Turnet, Billy Bootstrap, Tia Dalma, Elizabeth Swan, Davy Jones, Mr. Cotton. And that's just Pirates of the Caribbean!
Pirate style party accessories play almost big role than suits. It is they who make the chosen image unambiguous and recognizable:
- pistols, saber or sword, knife. Harness over the shoulder, scabbard;
- compass, spyglass, watch on a chain;
- wide sling (a scarf is suitable, it can be deliberately bright, with a fringe);
- leather belt, with a buckle (you can have two at once, like Jack Sparrow);
- neckerchief, bandana, eye patch, cocked hat;
- stylized jewelry (large rings, ring earrings, skull bones);
- various little things in the hair, on the belt, wrists. Talismans, amulets made of skins, bones, fabric, beads.
Menu, serving
Easy Pirate Party Table Decoration Ideas:
- General buffet table-ship. Close with a tablecloth, put on a net. Decorate the "skirt" of the tablecloth with steering wheels, anchors, ropes. Place the mast with sails in the center of the table or on the back wall, in the background. If there is no room for the mast, you can place the "sail" horizontally, in waves right above the table, under the ceiling.
- Several garden tables with sticks for installing sun umbrellas. But instead of umbrellas, build masts-sails. Come up with a name for each table-ship, sew it on the tablecloth from the front side of the “board”.
- Move a large table to the wall, close it to the floor with burlap or a thick cloth. Put boxes on top, barrels - several tiers, randomly. And on them - plates and dishes with snacks, bottles, jars instead of glasses(port surroundings or hold).
- Choose dishes based on the level of preparation and the importance of the event. These can be stylized paper plates-glasses, glass and crystal, or "silver" - cups, trays, "antique" cutlery.
- Use pirate flags and other recognizable paraphernalia to decorate skewers, tubules, serving molds. It’s easier to lay out / stick cards beautifully than to rack your brains over thematic design every meal.
- Several barrels with taps and globe bar fit perfectly into the theme.
- Buy ice molds - skulls, bones, balls, fish, boats, diamonds. You can replace them with molds for chocolate, baking.
- Are you having a Halloween pirate party? Be sure to use watermelons, melons and pumpkins to decorate the hall and for serving any dishes (bowls of halves).
- For a pirate birthday, order a cake in a recognizable style. Islands, treasure chests, ships, etc. An unforgettable surprise for the birthday boy and all the guests!
- Place sweets in cardboard chests and boats, in decorated transparent jars, vases. Buy a lot of candies in multi-colored foil (gems, in bulk), chocolate bars (also in foil - ingots). Blind flags, anchors, steering wheels, etc. from mastic, decorate muffins, cakes, cookies.
For entourage, include a large whole baked fish and seafood in the pirate menu. And the rest - to your taste. Cutting, vegetables, fruits, any salads. The buffet is ideal when active fun, games, dances are in the plans. Canapes, miniature sandwiches, snacks in baskets and vases, kebabs themselves are a bright table decoration.
Any drinks, but for the atmosphere you can put a few bottles of rum on the table. Print "old" labels, reglue. You can “age” the bottles themselves - dust them, wrap the necks with twine, and glue themed decor.
Since this is an adult pirate party, there is no point in fiddling with each dish for a long time. But some of the appetizers from the menu can be served in "boats" and "sails" can be hoisted. Making a boat with your own hands is very simple. Need a skewer (mast), board and sail. A boat is an empty half of a cucumber, an orange, an egg, a rhombus bread, a basket, etc. Inside, any filling, a sail on a skewer - lettuce, shrimp, a thin slice of cheese, ham, cucumber.
Entertainment
When choosing a pirate party scenario for adults, consider the space available to guests. For example, it is better to organize a treasure hunt on a map in nature. Those. literally look for a place marked with a cross, walking nearby and completing quest after quest. Treasures can also be hidden indoors. But if there is not enough space, you won’t be able to walk around much. This means that the quest itself and the competitions must be doable on the spot.
Pirate scenario options:
- with the invitation, each guest also receives a piece of a pirate map. Coming to the party guests put them together, into a map with marked points. Tags are games and contests that "lead" to a hidden chest;
- the map is torn and lost. Guests perform tasks, receiving an award for each competition - another fragment. At the end, the card is folded and just go to the chest;
Theme songs and music for a pirate party will come in handy during competitions. Download several compositions from movies and cartoons, cut them. And you can dance and relax to any incendiary music, especially since there are not so many pirate songs really suitable for a party.
- instead of a card for games, fragments of the message are given. For example, "The treasure is buried under a palm tree." Cut the text into as many pieces as provided by the competitions. The chest is placed in a box and in the far corner of the room. And above the box or in front of it is a cardboard “landmark”. In our example, this is a palm tree. You can come up with a riddle instead of a direct indication: "The treasure is where the two pirates anchored." In pirate slang, "anchored" - they fought, i.e. on the box you need to stick a picture of two fighting pirates.
- Several teams are fighting for the right to open the treasury. Suitable for large-scale parties, when at least a couple of dozen "pirates" gathered;
- in the chest are rewards with price tags. For each competition, the winners are awarded with gold coins, doubloons or black marks. At the end, the accumulated wealth can be spent on gifts from the "dead man's chest".
Regardless of the chosen scenario, you can schedule both team and single competitions. If the plot does not provide for division into teams, just beat this moment, for example, as a training session for a close-knit pirate gang.
Any competitions for adults (paired, far from puritanical - according to the mood of the company) or children's, slightly modified in accordance with the theme, will fit into the scenario of a pirate party. Use pirate slang and nicknames to create an atmosphere:
Moor - sit down
Shake your bones - dance
Fill the hold - have a bite
Where can you whisper with the Jolly Roger? - where is the toilet?
It's storming in the hold - I'm drunk
Pirate Initiation
Leading: to become a real pirate, it’s not enough to be able to tear the throat, fill up the tonsils and drag everything that is badly lying into the hold. Anchor in my liver if I'm wrong! Each pirate is also obliged to keep order on the ship! We are not garbage rats!
Divide the floor in two with masking tape or another mark. scatter Balloons, crumpled newspapers. Give guests mops. Two teams, on either side of the dividing line. The goal is to throw "garbage" from your "deck" on board to your neighbors. For three minutes, the guests, accompanied by a cheerful song, are pushing "garbage" back and forth with mops. At the end, you need to evaluate the "cleanliness of the ship" of each of the teams.
Aboard
AT: but it’s weak to board a combat frigate without preparation? Not? Well, let's see if you are sea devils or boiled jellyfish!
Two chairs, two teams. The goal is to climb onto someone else's chair-ship in a minute. The team whose members were able to fit on the enemy "frigate" in greater numbers wins.
friendly duel
AT: Hey on deck! How many holds can be filled? Let's see how you draw with sabers. And then all the brave ones grind with their tongues, but when it comes down to it - inept fry!
Thin board or bench, sham weapon. Two of them swing their swords, trying to throw the enemy to the floor. The loser gives way to the next pirate.
Not a single battle
AT: You know how to swing mops and sabers, I admit it. Well, how will there be nothing to scrub and no one to measure the length of the knives with? Suddenly, Fortune will turn around to you as a stern, and will throw you onto an uninhabited island?
For a pirate-style birthday party, you can rent equipment and play Pirates VS Savages paintball. An easier option is to get food on a desert island:
- spear darts at the target;
- rings on hooks suspended on a shield;
- from a bow with sucker arrows into prey (the gunpowder got wet, it has to be done in the “grandfather’s” way);
- throw a lasso on mops in a bucket (glue a fake deer head to the mop);
- any other way to test the accuracy of a pirate, depending on the location of the party.
close elbow
AT: It's not for me to tell you how often several worthy teams of thugs and notorious rogues go along the same route. Competition, so that it is torn apart ... But there are fewer treasures that have not been dug out than worthy young ladies in the port at night ... I grind something with my tongue like a drunken boatswain, strike me with thunder! Come on, dig out!
A large basin with sand and buried treasure - any shiny nonsense. The goal is for a minute a teaspoon (or Chinese chopsticks?) get more treasures than rivals. Can be done in teams or every man for himself.
One leg is good!
AT: The pirate, not ready for any losses, has rotten cuttlefish ink instead of brains! There *pirate nickname of a guest in a blindfold* lost his eye, and nothing - hearty! And if the leg is opened with a core? Let's see how you handle this trick!
Relay, two teams racing or all together. At the finish line is a chair with a bottle and glasses. On the bottle is the label "Rum is a life-giving drink!". The guest bends one leg and jumps to the finish line, leaning on a crutch or cane (for entourage). Having reached the stool, he pours and drinks the “life-giving drink” - the leg grows back! Back running, passed the crutch to the next. If you're having a pirate birthday, have all party guests toast before being "healed".
Regatta on frigates
AT: It remains to test the strength of the pirate spirit. Weak Davy Jones, an anchor in his throat, lets the fish feed in packs!
Miniature paper boats, start-finish on a smooth surface. It is necessary to blow on your boat so that it “sails” to the finish line before the rest. It is possible in teams - two large ships and all together to blow into the "sails" of their frigate.
Where does the rum go all the time? (c) Jack Sparrow
AT: Yo-ho-ho, venerable pirates! I have no more doubts that only the most notorious swindlers, dodgers and other filibusters have gathered here! Let's drink to the bottom of this!
Two teams and two large bowls. Or every man for himself - a large plastic glass. It is necessary to empty the container at speed (it’s funnier through a straw).
Quizzes, board games (minutes of rest)
- to untie sea knots at speed;
- guess riddles on the marine and pirate theme;
- decipher pirate slang (phrases, turns, curses);
- a test for knowledge of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" or just a pirate life;
- funny questions and answers. Only one option is correct, the other two are absurd. What was the name of J. Sparrow's ship: Devil's Dozen, Black Pearl or Salty Beluzhin? Using the rhyme generator, it's easy to come up with as many questions/answers as you like.
At the end of the scenario - "open" and open the chest, share the treasures(thematic gifts, medals "The most notorious pirate"). If the party is in honor of a birthday, solemnly take out a pirate cake - a surprise from the cook. You can arrange an explosion in a powder warehouse (fireworks) or money rain (paper show).

Pirates
Surnames and names of famous pirates
Pirates- these are sea and river robbers of any nationality, who at all times robbed the ships of all countries and peoples.
The word "pirate" (Latin pirata) comes from the Greek. "try, test" The meaning of the word "pirate" is to try one's luck, a gentleman of fortune.
The word "pirate" came into use around the 4th-3rd centuries BC. e., and before that the concept of "leistes" was used, known since the time of Homer and closely related to such concepts as robbery, murder, booty. Piracy in its original form sea raids appeared simultaneously with navigation and maritime trade. All the coastal tribes, who mastered the basics of navigation, were engaged in such raids. Piracy, as a phenomenon, is reflected in ancient poetry - in Ovid's Metamorphoses and Homer's poems.
As trade and legal relations Between countries and peoples, attempts began to be made to combat this phenomenon.
The pirates had own flag. The idea to sail under a pirate flag appeared in order to psychologically influence the crew of the attacked ship. For the purpose of intimidation, the blood-red flag was originally used, which often depicted symbols of death: skeleton, skull, crossbones, crossed sabers, death with a scythe, skeleton with a goblet.
The most common method of piracy attack there was a boarding (fr. abordage). The enemy ships approached side to side, grappled with boarding gear, and pirates jumped onto the enemy ship, supported by fire from the pirate ship.
Modern piracy
Currently, most of the pirate attacks occur in East Africa (Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique).

filibusters- sea robbers of the 17th century who robbed Spanish ships and colonies in America. The word comes from the Dutch "vrijbuiter", which means "free earner".
Corsairs- this word appeared at the beginning of the XIV century from the Italian "corsa" and the French "la corsa". AT war time the corsair received from the authorities of his (or another) country a letter of marque (corsair patent) for the right to rob enemy property. A corsair ship was equipped by a private shipowner, who bought a corsair patent or a letter of reprisal from the authorities. The captains and crew members of such a ship were called corsairs. In Europe, the word "corsair" was used by the French, Italians, Spaniards and Portuguese in relation to their own and foreign gentlemen of fortune. In the countries of the Germanic language group, a synonym for corsair is privateer, in English speaking countries privateer(from the Latin word privatus - private).
privateers- private individuals in the countries of the German language group, who received a license from the state (letter, patent, certificate, commission) to seize and destroy ships of enemy and neutral countries in exchange for a promise to share with the employer. Such a license in English was called Letters of Marque - letter of marque. The word "caper" comes from the Dutch verb kepen or the German kapern (to seize). Germanic synonym for corsair.
Privateers is the English name for a privateer or corsair.
Pechelings (flexelings)- so in Europe and the New World (America) they called Dutch privateers. The name comes from the main port of their base - Vlissingen. This term has appeared since the mid-1570s, when Dutch sailors began to gain fame (rob) around the world, and little Holland became one of the leading maritime countries.
Klefts (sea guides)- Greek pirates in the era of the Ottoman Empire, who attacked mainly Turkish ships.
