SUMMARY
We hear the terms "steer clear of," "hit the deck," "don't rock the boat," and "to harbor a grudge" and give little thought to their origin. Left together on ships for months, and often for years, pirate crews developed expressions that made their way into common usage. This dictionary is written to be entertaining as well as informative, to give a flavor of these interesting times from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, when pirates controlled many sea lanes. It also contains a treasure trove of factual information about the life aboard ship, important pirate haunts, and technical terms.Breverton, Terry is the author of 'Pirate Dictionary', published 2004 under ISBN 9781589802438 and ISBN 1589802438.
