The King of All the Pirates.

Hi again Matey's! Today Im going to talk about a very important person in history of pirates in fact he is considered The King of the seas his name was Henry Morgan. 


Let get into a little of history In the year 1655 England seized a weakly guarded Spanish Island: Jamaica, and converted it into an English colony. Henry Morgan embarked on a difficult and daring escapade involving a long and dangerous journey through the unexplored jungle. This expedition was followed by a triumphant lightning assault on Gran Granada. The attack yielded enormous spoils, and was considered a great success for Henry Morgan. Henry Morgan was pleasantly surprised upon his return to Jamaica. Then after his Uncle (Edward Morgan) died the governor of Jamaica chose Henry Morgan to become the commander of the militia in Port Royal.


In 1668 Morgan made two pirating ventures. Morgan’s attack on the inland city of Puerto Principe Cuba, was considered his first Major attack.  A year later Morgan led an expedition of 8 ships and 650 buccaneers to attack the Venezuelan cities of Marcaibo and Gilbraltar . Compared with his last venture, the plunder was not comparable, and Morgan found the cities virtually deserted. In January 1670, Morgan set out after the largest venture of his career, to plunder the gold of Panama. Answering his call, 2000 buccaneers on 36 ships assembled to prepare for an attack on Panama. This were the most important adventures that henry had during this life. This gave him the nickname of King and mainly because he didn't obey to any of the King of England orders.


Henry Morgan was one of the most ruthless of pirates, his daring, brutality, and intelligence made him the most feared, and respected buccaneer of all time. Henry Morgan really was the king of all pirates.

Piracy has as definition the act of robbery or criminal violence at the sea. The people who is engange in this acts are called PIRATES.

The history of piracy dates back more than 3000 years, but its accurate account depends on the actual 
meaning of the word ‘pirate’.
 A meaning was first ascribed to the word piracy sometime before the XVII century. It appears that the word pirate (peirato) was first used in about 140 BC by the Roman historian Polybius.

We can think that the piracy has existed as long as the humans we're transported in boats. But in realilty the first documented instances of piracy are the exploits of the Sea Peoples who threatened the Aegean and Mediterranean in the 13th century BC. So this make us realize that really the pirates started as simply  thiefs but the characteristic that they attacked boats on shores or in the sea defines them. Also they had a very descriptive language between them they used some colloquial language.
