Seawolves: Pirates & the Scots by Eric J. Graham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5 MB
Overview: Seawolves is an exciting and thorough examination of Scots connected to piracy, whether they are victims or villains, real or literary. Concentrating mainly on the legendary golden age of pirates—1690 to 1710—when pirate vessels not only menaced the waters of the East and West Indies, but even threatened the northern islands of Scotland.
During this time, many Scots left hard lives in places like Aberdeen, Stornoway and Orkney to find fame, fortune and adventure on the dangerous high seas of more exotic locations like Madagascar, Brazil or the Caribbean. Some, like Captain James Macrae from Ayr, became well-respected pirate hunters, champions of the law upon the ocean, bravely facing violent battles and unsavory characters. Others, such as John Gow from Orkney, were these unsavory characters, their dastardly deeds capturing the imagination of the Scottish public.
