  3. Click the speaker introduction There once was a mythical time when brave and dangerous pirates sailed the seas in search of fortune and fame. There was a historical period from roughly 1680 - 1730 when large numbers of Anglo-American mariners were engaged in piracy and privateering, often against Spanish or other targets of opportunity in the Atlantic Ocean.
