I can imagine that was exciting. I grew up at the coast. Pirates were always a concern. They'd sink merchant ships or just steal the entire thing. Sometimes they would tie the surviving crew members to the ship before setting it on fire, if they didn't just sell them into slavery. Occasionally there would be survivors. They told horrible stories. My father would scare us with them when I was a child.
