What reading level is Pirates And Piracy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As a rule, a vessel, when in shore waters, is inadequately protected by guards, and thus the pirates, finding the deck in their control, would overcome the watch and, with drawn pistols and threats of death, proceed to make them helpless prisoners. With practical control of the vessel thus assured, some of the number would stand sentry at the hatchways while a signal to the shore brought the reinforce- ment of their comrades in crime. Should the captured crew show remonstrance or any intima- ti...on of resistance, the swords, cutlasses, and heavy chains were most effective as a quietus; ind thus with sails all set, and flying the flag of 18 PIRATES AND PIRACY.
the home port as a mantle to their knavery, they sailed forth to some small town in search of pro- visions, to dispose of their merchandise, release their prisoners (or, as frequently happened, maroon them upon some desolate island), and thus equipped and provisioned, with magazines ammunitioned, they set forth in search of prey.
Not infrequently the vessel captured would prove too small and insufficient for marauding expeditions upon the high seas, and unable to give battle or a spirited chase to a sturdy mer- chantman.
