Unter schwarzer Flagge. Legende und Wirklichkeit des Piratenlebens.

This book sheds light on the often overlooked aspects of pirate society, but I wonder what led to this particular focus and how it changes our view of pirates.

The vivid details about life at sea really painted a picture, but I’m curious if others felt the same connection to the sailors’ experiences.

Some practices seem legendary, so I wonder what the author’s process was in distinguishing fact from myth when reconstructing pirate culture.
