Ships Ahoy.
This short (only 32 pages) and well illustrated book provides an incredible wealth of detail about pirates.The book briefly discusses such famous pirates as Blackbeard, Henry Avery, and William Kidd.The book gives a brief history about pirates and it discusses famous women pirates, the reasons why people became pirates, different types of pirate flags, usual pirate possessions, pirate punishments, famous movie pirates, and the differences between pirates of the past and modern day pirates.The book has lots of photographs and illustrations and contains many interesting facts. For example, pirates rarely made anyone walk the plank and instead perfered to throw people down onto the deck from high off the rigging. This is a great little book to give to anyone interested in pirates as well as a useful tool for anyone interesting in learning about pirates. ... Read more

A fresh view of women's participation in a major enterprise
This is a short, readable, heavily anecdotal account of women's history in sailing. It contains many amazing facts (e.g., The world's most successful pirate was a woman. The only teenager ever to captain a clipper ship around Cape Horn while pregnant was a woman.) The book gave me a different perspective on sailing and a different perspective on women's place in history. I wish the stories had been footnoted with sources, though. De Pauw explicitly cites sources in a handful of cases, but not in many others.

women pirates
I think women pirates are cool to read about because I didn't know a lot about them. The book was good because it had a lot of imformation on women in the pirate days.

Collection oftrue stories of female sailors and pirates.
This is a wonderful book of biographies of19th century seafaring women. The women vary from female pirates, to merchant ship captains to the wives of captains who went to sea with their men. I have reread it several timesand find it a delightful addition to nautical lore. ... Read more
