Hi I’m currently try to learn more about the history of piracy. I know that at some point I saved a very cool plain HTML website regarding that topic that was recommended here but I lost it :/ So now I hope you have cool sources. I’m only into the piracy since a couple of years so everything will be helpful.
Now I’m thinking about all of the books (particularly The Bible)
piratedtranscribed in monasteries during the Middle Ages.I wonder how often books were actually stolen from ships by pirates.
I don’t know, but apparently one major reason the US wasn’t the second country to adopt the metric system is that the ship carrying the measuring equipment for Congress to assess was attacked by pirates
