| Hello Purvis:
One o' th' little pitfalls o' bein' on th' account was th' lousy retirement plan. Piracy twas high crime, an' things like th' statutes o' limitations an' evidence law were...rough guidelines at best. If people thought ye were a pirate, ye better have some fine alibis an' no suspicious amounts of wealth. Mind you, there were some lads who were bright enough t' pull it off, and ye could do fine if ye had th' brains t' go somewhere where no one knows yer name. There's all sorts of legends about that sort of thing in seafarin' nations. But, ye could take a Letter o' Marque an' becomin' a privateer. The Letter o' Marque tis essentially an' agreement t' with a nation to raid their enemies an' not them, as well often ye were obligated t' give th' crown a goodly share o' th' plunder. In turn, the captain an' 'is crew were tolerated in that country, at least enough t' avoid prison or th' noose. Th' arrangement had a few problems. Chief among 'em was what t' do with privateers durin' times o' peace. As mentioned, when ye've been on th' high seas fer months, even yer own nation's ships look temptin'. As well, it would take months fer news o' treaties an' declarations o' war t' reach th' privateers; meaning they could well be brewin' th' next war jus' by not knowin' th' old one had ended. Another problem would be accountin' for what they did: th' country what they were privateerin' for would claim th' privateers were actin' on their own, while the country what th' privateers raided would have a view o' things ye could call a bit more dim. As well, pirates tended not to get on well with privateers, especially when th' age o' bounty hunting well an' truly began. So while bein' a privateer gave ye a measure o' safety, nothin' was guaranteed. However, some privateers went on t' do well for themselves, such as Sir Francis Drake, who was knighted by Elizabeth I fer plunderin' th' Spanish Treasure Fleet. (This led Spain t' try to attack England with their Armada, an' permanently knocked Spain out o' controllin' th' seas.) Others like Woodes Rogers were given governorships (New Providence in his case). But, this depended on ye bein' a good enough pirate an' not gettin' killed in th' process. But in both their cases, the Crown was willin' t' overlook that both had also attacked English ships from time t' time. |
