But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyones survival. These Laws were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, to punishments and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the Pirates Code, which all pirates had to publicly swear by.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing primary sources such as eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates success in battle, on sea and on land.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44073879634160,"sku":"9781789147117","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9781789147117.jpg?v=1713550764","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.pro\/products\/9781789147117","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
