World History
Welcome to Rob Ossian's Pirate's Cove. I think I have discovered the greatest pirate website out there! This site features biographies of explorers, pirates, and privateers along with historical timelines, and a history of pirate movies.
I had a good time exploring this site. It appears to be well researched and also is well laid out. It also lacks a significant advertising presence. This page was not created just to get visitors to click on Google Adsense ads and make the site creator money.
I found the biography section the most fun. There were interesting write ups of pirates including Edward Teach, Henry Morgan, and Mary Read. There is also an amusing vanity biography about the site creator (Robert H. Ossian).

- Yo Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rum
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum. This is an article from Modern Drunkard Magazine on the alcoholic adventures of the pirates of the Caribbean. While I am a bit loathe to blog an article from such a source, it is surprisingly good and gives a decent account...
- Blackbeard: Teach's Hole
Blackbeard: Teach's Hole - Exhibit and Pyrate Specialty Shoppe dedicated to Blackbeard the pirate, who died in Ocracoke, NC. Detailed history of Blackbeard, also general information on piracy. From the site: Blackbeard went by the name Edward...
