Description
The Golden Age of Piracy went far beyond what occurred on Nassau. Some of the most notorious pirates were active in the North Atlantic.
Part of the reason for their success for so many years was that the American Colonists supported them. Trading with pirates was cheaper than the rates they had to pay to England. This was due to England’s edict that they could only trade with English ships. The Pirates of the North Atlantic were seen as heroes who defied the crown!
