Title:
Pirates of the Caribbean
URL:
http://blindkat.hegewisch.net/pirates/pirates.html
Description:
This is the site of a person who loves pirates. Full of fascinating
details on the pirates of the Caribbean, pirate punishments, pirate ships
and the origins of the Jolly Roger, the site is crammed with detail and
written in a lively and colloquial style, illustrated by contemporary
documents and engravings. The history of pirates includes references to
modern counterparts and the information includes references to contemporary
events. The terms Privateer, Pirate, Buccaneer, and Marooner are explained
and Articles of Piracy, legalised piracy and its Letters of Marque, rules of
engagement and codes of conduct are examined. There are detailed sections on
weapons and ships. Common myths are exploded and a glossary of terms is
included. There are frequent references to films and books. Occasional
misspellings apart, and the failure of some 'click to enlarge' actions, this
makes for truly engrossing and informative browsing. This would be a
valuable site for teachers using 'Pirates' as a central organising theme for
a cross-curriculum unit of work and for student research.
Talk Like A Pirate Day, September 19
"Talking like a pirate is fun. It's really that simple. It
adds a zest, a swagger, to your every day conversation."
This humorous site celebrates a day of pirate talk with
pirate lingo (such as "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!"), a
pirate advice
column, a newsletter, puzzles, a "pirate personality
profile," Web links, and other silliness. (Caution: some
of the humor is mildly salacious.)
