Discover Some Facts About Pirates and the Spanish Main

In 1492 Europeans discovered America and after that date the Spanish often sailed there. The lands that they visited were known as the Spanish main. From these lands they stole treasures from the Aztecs, in a land now known as Mexico. They loaded their ships and sailed back to Spain in their galleons. However they were often attacked on their way back by Pirates and privateers.

Queen Elizabeth’s favourite pirate was Sir Francis Drake who was both an explorer and a privateer and he made it a habit to rob Spanish ships on just such voyages, particularly when the two countries were at war in the 1570s and 1580s. As a reward for his efforts he was knighted in 1581 by the queen.

There were three well known Spanish galleons loaded with treasure from the Spanish main. They were attacked in 1523 by Jean Fleury. He captured two of them and one escaped. One of their features was that they floated high in the water making them easier to load and unload. At the top of their mast was the crow’s nest. Here the look out kept an eye on the ship’s progress and from here he could spot land more quickly than from the main deck.

In the Caribbean there were many ships with pirates on board looking to rob the Spanish of their treasure. In particular, the pirates who lived on the island of Hispaniola were called buccaneers. There name was derived from the fire on which they cooked their meat, called a boucan. The Buccaneers began attacking Spanish vessels in the 1630′s

On of their most well known members was Henry Morgan. He raided Spanish ports and towns in the 1660′s and became very rich as a result. He was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica by the then King of England.

As with many other rogues and outlaws in history, we remember and celebrate the adventures of these characters of the past. The pirate costume has become a party theme favourite for women and children alike, and the cinemas regularly run Captain Jack Sparrow movies which are equally as popular.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (WS/DVD) $23.92 Format: Widescreen DVDEdition: 2-DVD Special EditionLoosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he`s in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth`s childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl`s mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth`s doubloon necklace, and when she`s kidnapped by the ol` salty dog and his crew, Sparrow and young Will must rescue her and find out the truth behind the ship`s curse.Verbinski`s PIRATES is a welcome throwback to Hollywood offerings of yesteryear, filled with rope-swinging heroes, crusty villains, treasure hoards, swift swordplay, and even wittier wordplay. Screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott have crafted one of the most clever action-movie scripts in many moons, and this gives the filmmakers and cast (especially Depp) plenty of room to cut loose. Although the skeletal pirates may be a bit frightening for small children, there`s lots of humor to temper the scary moments, making PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL a nearly flawless fun film.
