The history of pirates can be traced back to the Rukan people in14th century BC, and the ancient Egyptians recorded their attacks on Cyprus. Some people say that pirates appeared from the day the ship was invented. But the exact definition of piracy must be linked with the word "piracy".

In English, the word piracy has many different meanings, but today some meanings of the word itself are almost useless. The word piracy was first used before17th century. The word peirato was first used by the ancient Roman historian Politios in about 140 BC.

Piracy location:

1. Tortuga Island, located on the northern coast of Haiti, is a rocky island and a very famous pirate base in history. 1630 pirates driven away by the French government for hijacking Spanish merchant ships settled here.

2. Port of the Royal Islands, located in Jamaica, was a very important navigation port in the16th century. At that time, the British government encouraged pirates to settle here and attacked French and Spanish merchant ships in the past. Before the very serious earthquake 1692 flooded the towns on the island in June, it was called "Pirate Paradise". The earthquake was recorded in detail in maritime museum, Virginia. At that time, people thought it was "God's punishment".

3. Nassau, located on the north shore of New Providence Island in the north-central Bahamas, is only 290 kilometers away from Miami, USA. It used to be such a shabby town that there was not even a real house.

However, Nassau witnessed the golden age of pirates in history. As the most powerful pirate group in the Caribbean at that time, there were many famous pirate leaders here, such as Calico Jack, Rackham, anne bernie and Blackbeard. Until 1725, the British government sent Wood Rogers here to "suppress bandits", and the pirate gangs here slowly disappeared. Therefore, Nassau Island's motto is "Destroy pirates-revitalize the economy".
