The black flag: true tales of twentieth-century piracy
Adventure and exploration, General non-fiction
Human-narrated audio
Summary
Piracy died with the skull and crossbones: the world's navies have made the sea safe. Think again. Not so safe for the Sunning, caught in a nightmare on the China seas, nor for passengers on the Morro Castle, sunk in… flames off the New Jersey coast with the loss of 134 lives. Nor for the Khalis III, found abandoned in the Bahamas, a corpse floating in the wreckage, the deck splattered with blood. This book shows that piracy is very much alive. 1994.
