Hello dear community! Want to tell you about pirates today!)) By the way, there is one very cute pirate in our community)) Pirates are sea or river robbers. The word "pirate" (lat. Pirata) means "to try or to test." Thus, the meaning of the word filibuster - "try the luck", the gentleman of a good luck. Etymology shows how shaky from the outset has been the boundary between professions and explorer pirate. The word came into use around the IV-III centuries BC. e., and before that it was used the term "leystes" was known to Homer and more closely related to concepts such as robbery, murder, mining. The most common way pirate attack was boarded (fr. Abordage). Enemy ships approached, usually in the side board, mated grappling cats and gear, and on the enemy ship ran and jumped pirates, supported by fire from a pirate ship. There are about 16 types of pirates from ancient Greek pirates dolopians to Japanese wokou and Chinese pirates of 1918-1929. Nowadays the piracy also exists, especially common in East Africa. One of the most famous pirates are Henry Morgan (1635-1688), an Englishman Francis Drake (1540-1596), Edward Teach (1680-1718), who is known for his nickname Blackbeard, a native of Scotland, William Kidd (1645-1701), Mary Read (1685-1721), Olivier (François) Le Vasseur, the French pirate. He had the nickname "La blues" or "buzzard". Oruç Reis (1473-1518) became a pirate when he was 16 years old after the Turks conquered his native island of Lesbos. These are just a few of them. If you think that the pirates all the time lived an easy life and had so much fun as Jack Sparrow from the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is not like that actually. Many of them had a very hard life, many of them suffered, loved, had been disappointed, struggled and fought for life and death. Mary Reed, for example, being pregnant, died in prison because of a fever. Pirate "La Blues" was killed by his friends because of his obnoxious character. But you know what, let's remember again charming Johnny Depp, switch on the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the 259th time in a row , make yourself a cup of tea or hot cocoa, wrap yourself in a plaid and enjoy this wonderful evening!
