Privateers & Pirates 1730 1830
ISBN: 9781841760162 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Following the pirate scourge of the early 18th century, many sea captains took to privateering as a means of making money.

Following peace in 1815, many former privateers turned to piracy, spawning the last great piratical wave, which would last for a decade. The world of these privateers and latter-day pirates comes vividly to life in this detailed exploration...
