Sea Adventure: Pirates decoying an American ship (colour litho)
8669366 Sea Adventure: Pirates decoying an American ship (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Pirates decoying an American ship. There never were such bloodthirsty pirates as those who flourished, chiefly in the West Indies and South American waters, in the twenties and early thirties of last century. They had mostly fought in the Great Wars, and when the Peace of 1815 robbed them of their vocation, they nominally took service with the various South and Central American republics who were revolting against Spain. From these they obtained a commission to save them from being hanged as pirates. They seldom loved the risk of fighting however, and generally tried to lure their prey within range of a surprise; an episode of this kind is illustrated.
