These are Maps related to areas Pirates have frequently visited and used as Pirate HotSpots. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to GoogleMaps for the pictures, these are a lot better then the old hand drawn maps, and will help give reference to the areas we will speak about often.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will also add extra historical maps that are interesting and unique, and if we find any Pirate Maps showing us Hidden Treasure, I’ll put those up too….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"An<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mediterranean Sea<\/strong> was active with Pirates and Raiders throughout our history.<\/p>\n

That is until Rome<\/strong> finally cleared all the Pirates out of the Mediterranean in 67 BCE,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks To Pompey The Great<\/strong>, the waters would stay Pirate free for about 4 centuries….<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Golden Age of Piracy<\/strong> as well as the Popular Buccaneers<\/strong> of the 16th century made this Sea and these Islands their own.<\/p>\n

Also known as The Spanish Main, <\/strong>it was claimed by Spain but the English, French and Dutch thought otherwise.<\/p>\n

Anyone caught by the Spanish would be seen as Pirates and Interlopers and be\u00a0dealt with accordingly<\/del><\/p>\n

….They’d be hung until dead. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Atlantic Seaboard<\/strong> is another favorite Pirate hangout and was used whenever the Pirates were avoiding Authorities \u00a0in the Caribbean<\/strong> or felt like blockading harbors up and down the coast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pirates Blackbeard & Charles Vane<\/strong> both blockaded Charleston, South Carolina<\/strong> on separate occasions.<\/p>\n

Pirates were known to leave The Atlantic Seaboard<\/strong> and travel south<\/strong> when the weather was more favorable.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The China Seas<\/strong> have been used for Piracy for centuries.<\/p>\n

Pirate Junks of 100’s if not 1000’s would attack and plunder any that came into their way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

A Pirate hangout<\/strong> used by the Pirates such as Bartholomew Roberts and others during the Golden Age of Piracy and before.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Pirates of the late 17th century<\/strong> started traveling south along the African coast<\/strong>, and around the Cape of Good Hope<\/strong> into the Indian Ocean<\/strong> to Raid and Plunder<\/strong> the Goods travelling between India, The Middle-East and Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n
