PIRATE SHIP CARRIBEAN

A pirate ship in the Caribbean is often imagined as a classic wooden sailing vessel with black sails and a fearsome crew, roaming the warm seas during the Golden Age of Piracy (roughly the 17th and early 18th centuries). These ships were typically fast, heavily armed, and designed for hit-and-run attacks on merchant ships. Popular examples include the Black Pearl from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which is a fictional pirate ship, though it closely resembles real-life Caribbean pirate ships like the Whydah, a notorious pirate ship captained by Black Sam Bellamy.Caribbean pirate ships were generally sloops or brigs, known for their speed and maneuverability. They often featured dark sails and skull- and-crossbones flags (Jolly Roger), symbolizing piracy. These ships became infamous for their attacks on treasure-laden ships and the pursuit of freedom on the high seas.
