Following the demise of Blackbeard, piracy continued to thrive, with a rise in reported attacks on shipping. This comprehensive work updates Philip Goss's 1924 classic, providing a serious yet engaging exploration of maritime history, the colonial era, and the Caribbean. It serves as a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike, while also catering to genealogists seeking insights into the lives of pirates. The book is particularly relevant for those living in or visiting the eastern United States and Caribbean Islands.

Originally published in 1969, this book provides a sustained examination of the idea of the individual person as of supreme worth in the language of analytical philosophy. An important contribution to debates in moral philosophy, it will be of use to students in the philosophy of religion and education.
