The pirates' story is inextricably linked to one of the most exciting and tumultuous periods of seafaring history. We all know the popular conception of the pirate: eyepatch, sword, maybe a pegleg or hook for a hand. But in reality, the pirates' story is a truly exciting and tumultuous part of the sea's rich history. From the late 17th century to the early 18th century, pirates of the seas became both famous and infamous. As Europe battled to extend her colonies and trade routes flourished, men of all ages, lured by the promise of great treasure and keen to capitalise upon the New World, joined ranks to sail under the black flag. In this fascinating program, you will meet some of the most cunning and dangerous characters ever to sail the high seas–and some of it is stranger than fiction!
This two-hour documentary presents some of the most feared and famous figures in pirate history. Many of the myths are debunked, but behind the myths lies a reality that is at least as dramatic and gripping.
