Description
The Pirate Ship 1660-1730 by Angus Konstam is a detailed exploration of the pirate vessels that sailed the high seas during the 'golden age' of piracy. This book redresses the imbalance in attention given to pirates, focusing instead on the ships they used to wage war and plunder treasure. From gun-bristling warships to smaller craft like sloops, brigantines, and early schooners, Konstam examines the origins, development, and tactical engagement of these vessels. The book incorporates the latest archaeological evidence to bring the ships of this era vividly to life through contemporary illustrations and superb colour artwork. Packed with information on the pirate ships that shaped the 'golden age' of piracy, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in maritime history and the golden age of piracy.
