In a pirate ship, the captain was elected by the votes of the majority of the crew and he could be deposed if the crew were not happy with his performance. The crew, and not the captain, decided the destination of each voyage and whether to attack a particular ship or to raid a coastal village. At the start of a voyage, or on the election of a new captain, a set of written articles was drawn up which every member of the ship. These articles regulated the distribution of plunder, the scale of compensation for injuries received in battle, and set out the basic rules for shipboard life and the punishments for those who broke the rules.

Pirates Suffered Too. The coast of Africa. Malaria, dysentery, yellow fever, and other diseases lay in wait for the crews of ships who spent time in the tropics. The horrors of the slave trade are well known, but what is not so well known is that white seamen died in the same proportion as black slaves. In 1. 72. 6 a Caribbean expedition led by Admiral Hosier suffered losses which were to cause future generations of seamen to regard a West Indian posting with horror.
Over the course of two years Hosier. If they resisted, the pirates tended to make an example of them. The pirates used methods of torture such as burning matches between the victim.
He would cut open the stomach of his victim, extract one end of his guts, nail it to a post and then force the wretched man to dance to his death by beating his backside with a burning log. Quote from Captain Charles Johnson: . They were reported to Roberts and his quartermaster, . He was hanged on the shore of Leith on January 1. The display of the gruesome trophy in this manner was very much in the spirit of an age when the heads of traitors were impaled on spears over the gateway to London Bridge and the corpses of criminals suspended in prominent places as a warning to others. Maynard also needed the head as proof that he had killed the notorious pirate, and could claim the reward. A similar action was reported in the London Journal on April 2.
Nicholas Brown, . The gallows was set up on the shore near the low- tide mark. After the pirates had been hanged, their bodies were slowly submerged by the swirling waters of the incoming tide. It was usual to allow three tides to pass over them before the bodies were taken away. The reason why pirates on both sides of the Atlantic were hanged .
He was responsible for all felonies committed on the high seas and waterways up to the low- tide mark. Above the tide line, the civil courts took over. After the submerging of the tides, the body was either taken away and buried in an unmarked grave or sent to the Surgeon. The dissection of executed criminals had been authorized in Henry VIII. After the public hanging at Wapping it was the custom to display the corpses of the more notorious pirates at places along the river where they could be seen by the crews of all ships entering and leaving the port. The body of Captain Kidd was suspended on a gibbet at Tilbury Point on the lower reaches of the Thames.
Here it was a prominent landmark and would have remained visible for an hour or more as the ships navigated Sea Reach. To ensure that the displayed bodies remained intact for as long as possible, the corpses were coated with tar. Defiance. The capture of William Fly and his men in 1.
Reverend Cotton Mather to preach on the evils of piracy and to counsel the condemned men. Fly was not cooperative. He refused to go to the meeting- house where Mather preached on the Sunday before the execution, and he showed a total lack of the penitence required of him. With brave defiance, Fly walked to the place of execution with a nosegay in his hand, calling out to people in the crowd as he went. He mounted the stage with a spring in his step, reproached the hangman for not understanding his trade, and showed him how to manage the ropes in the most effectual manner. His indomitable spirit in the face of the condemnation of the court and the admonitions of Cotton Mather is remarkable, but was not unusual. A surprising number of pirates showed defiance at the end and refused to die in the contrite and penitent manner expected of them.
The Decline of Piracy. One of the most surprising aspects of the great age of piracy is how suddenly the threat collapsed. From the peak of 2. The incidence of pirate attacks declined from between forty and fifty in 1. The problem was tackled in a number of ways: by the introduction of legislation; by issuing pardons to pirates in the hope that they would abandon their lives of crime; by stepping up naval patrols in the worst affected areas; by promising rewards for the capture of pirates, and licensing private ships to attack and capture pirates; and by the trial and execution of captured pirates.
