Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1986 | Series: New England's Collectible Classics
Pay for the average seaman in the English Navy was poor, as was the food on naval ships. Sailors preferred shipping out on fishing boats, merchant ships, and privateers. Except for privateering a seaman had no opportunity to make himself a small fortune-whereas in pirating a mariner might retire in comfort after a couple of years at sea. This book is about the pirates of New England.

From the Author

Most 17th and 18th century pirates came from New England and New York. They spent winters in the tropics pilaging and came north to rob in the summer months. Most of their treasues were buried here, closer to their homes,yet little has been uncovered. This book tells about the most notorious pirates that frequented the New England coast, including Kidd and Blackbeard, and describes treasure thus far found, mostly on the outer islands, and where unfound treasure might be uncovered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book., October 18, 2007
This review is from: New England's Pirates and Lost Treasures (New England's Collectible Classics) (Paperback)
Initially the product came across as very amateurish; however, the book was well written and full of information. I ordered more in the set.

Great airline reading material.
