History The Golden Age of Piracy
The Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730) saw infamous pirates like Blackbeard and Anne Bonny rule the seas. Contrary to popular belief, many pirate ships were surprisingly democratic, with crews voting on major decisions and sharing plunder equally. Pirates also created early forms of disability insurance for injured crew members.
