Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Taken from Chapter 9: Robbing and Stealing All pirates dreamt of capturing ships filled with gold, silver, and jewels. Most pirates, however, stole anything they could sell, such as tobacco and cotton. They also took tools, food, rope, and medicine, which they needed for themselves. Many pirates took over ships that were carrying slaves. Slaves are people who are captured and forced to work without pay. Some slaves joined the pirates, but most were sold for money. Maps were very valuable. Pirates stole maps to find towns to rob and safe harbors in which to hide. A few pirates may have buried treasure and drawn maps so they could find it later.
