Myths and Facts about Pirate Ships
Far from what we can think of if we focus on myths and stories, pirate ships have never been characterized as large heavy ships superior to their prey during a direct attack. Rather, they were boats that went unnoticed, very light and small in size that prioritized speed. In this way, they could reach their prey and flee quickly. Also, they required low maintenance.
The pirates obtained the armament of the ships that they seized. In the early days, they did not accumulate many cannons since pirates preferred other means, such as boarding, to defeat the other ship, since the victim’s hull would not be damaged. However, at the beginning of the 18th century, the trend changed and it was usual to see ships with large numbers of cannons as if they were warships.
This tendency could be motivated by the increase in the popularity of certain famous pirates and consequently, to be prepared against the inevitable confrontation with the heavily armed ships that would be sent to catch them.
Among the great variety of ships that pirates used in the Modern era, most are reconstructed as model of famous pirate ships at premiershipmodels.com.
