What is a Pirate?
In many stories, legends, and even throughout history, pirates have been seen as robbers who travel on the water. While many people have though pirates sailed ships only to rob and steal other ships, there’s another side you may not realize. In stories and in real-life, pirates also made attacks on coastal cities and towns.
Pirates were usually involved in illegal activities of some kind such as smuggling, or they may have been in the slave trade. And there have been many famous pirates including Blackbeard who was said to have 14 wives. And there were woman pirates, which is usually a surprise to many people.
A couple of famous women pirates were Mary Read and Anne Bonny. These two dressed as men and fought like them, too.
You’ll see pirates in all types of movies and TV shows. Usually they are seen as glamorous and are romanticized. However, pirates really had a hard life, which was pretty violent and short. They were usually hung or otherwise killed if caught.
There you have it! We hope you’ve enjoyed this article and that you’ve found the perfect pirate name for your dog!
