Site Reference Sources


      Below is a list of internet and book sources that were of a great help in the making of this website, including the individual pirate biographies. Without whose hard work and research into the subject these pages would not have been possible. I have attempted to verify much of the information used on this site by comparing different sources. But with some of the information shown I could not find a second source to confirm it's accuracy. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction when dealing with Piracy of Old. As the personal accounts and events written about took place over two hundred years ago. So many stories and tales have been told over the years that they begin to merge fantasy with reality. Therefore if you are using this website to help you write an historically factual account, you should keep this in mind and try to find other sources to check there accuracy.
