  • Who were the pirates?
  • Pirates have existed since ancient times. They
    threatened the trading routes of ancient Greece,
    and captured ships from Roman.
  • Pirates were sometimes known as corsairs or
    buccaneers.
  • Corsairs were pirates who operated in the
    Mediterranean Sea between the 15th and 18th
    centuries. Corsairs had bases along the Barbary
    coast of north Africa. They built many strong
    fortresses to defend the Barbary ports of
    Algiers, Tripoli and Tunis.
  • In the 17th century, buccaneers lived on the
    Caribbean island of Hispaniola and Tortuga. At
    first, they lived as hunters, and shot wild pigs
    with their muskets. Their name came from the
    special wooden huts called boucans where they
    smoked their meat.

The history of Talk Like a Pirate Day

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic
holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur ("Ol'
Chumbucket") and Mark Summers ("Cap'n Slappy"),
who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day
when everyone in the world should talk like a
pirate. For example, an observer of this holiday
would greet friends not with "Hello", but with
"Ahoy, me hearty!" The date was selected because
it was the birthday of Summers's ex-wife and
consequently would be easy for him to remember.

Seamen in the days of sail spoke a language far
apart from the norm. It was so full of technical
jargon to understand.
  • Ahoy Hey!
  • Avast Stop!
  • Aye Yes
  • Arrr! can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree,"
    "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer,"
  • Booty treasure
  • Davy Jones' Locker the bottom of the sea, where
    the souls of dead men lie
  • Doubloons pieces of gold
  • Fiddlers Green the private heaven where pirates
    be going when they die.

Pirates lovely song
  • It's great to be a pirateAnd live a life of
    pleasureWe fight with swords and swing from
    ropesAnd hunt for buried treasure.We make our
    prisoners walk the plankSharks love us when we
    feed em.We wear those patches on our eyesWhen
    we don't even need em.CHORUSIt's great, it's
    great - It's great to be a pirate!It's great,
    it's great - It's swell to be bum.It's great,
    it's great - It's great to be a blackguard.It's
    great, it's great - Its so delicious to be
    viciousThrilling to be scum.It's great to
    conquer ships at seaAnd steal what isn't
    oursAnd smell like stinky sneakersCause we
    never bathe or shower.It's great to get shot at
    all the timeAnd lose an arm or leg.And every
    morning get to chooseA stylish hook or peg
