Pirates
The golden age of piracy (1680s–1720s) was a short but famous period when pirates like Blackbeard roamed the seas, especially in the Caribbean. Though pirate life promised freedom and riches, it was risky and often ended in capture. Dramatic news stories and books from the time helped create the pirate myths we know today. Eventually, increased naval action and harsh punishments ended the era.
