For thousands of years, pirates have threatened the ocean voyager and the coastal inhabitant, plundering ship and shore. A body of myths and legends has grown up around these rogues, derived from the "Golden Age" (roughly 1655 to 1725), the time of the Spanish Main, Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, and Bartholomew Roberts.
