Piracy has been around since men first sailed the seas, and is still around today. The pirates we think of range from swashbuckling heroes to actual historical ones like Barbarossa, Blackbeard, Redbeard, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and William Kidd. There were both male and female pirates and they would all pillage and plunder to their hearts desire. The word pirate inspires by its meaning alone, "attempt, experience", basically "to find luck on the sea".

Piracy in the Caribbean was a fact of life in the early days, but it has been a source of inspiration for children and for writers through time; in the form of movies and books. In fact, the Jolly Roger flag and Edward England's flag have also been subjects of history and Hollywood. Piracy was prevalent in the Caribbean from 1560 to the 1760s and continues today. Yet, the early days were when piracy was especially common. It was of interest because England, Spain, the Netherlands and France were all in conflict with each other. Most of those pirates were of English or Dutch descent.

If you're interested in impersonating somebody else for a few hours, Halloween gives you the perfect opportunity to do so. It might surprise you to know that Americans were the first to put on Halloween costumes. Although masquerade balls and mask adorning have been around for eons. Today, Halloween is also celebrated in other countries, including Canada, England, New Zealand, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Australia.
