The comming of the first female Pirate!
Piracy has been viewed as predominantly a male activity or occupation, but a significant minority of historical pirates have been female. Female pirates, like other women in crime, faced unique issues in practicing this occupation and in punishment for it. |

Quote:
"In the absence of international law, the practice of piracy became formalized as a way to settle grievances without provoking all-out war. An ingenious instrument called the "Letter of Marque and Reprisal," was devised for contracting with a privateer. The document authorized the arming of a privately-owned warship and its crossing into another nation's territory (marque means frontier). It also described what acts of property seizure and/or destruction would be considered appropriate "reprisal" against the offending government. The sanctioning government would receive a split of the take. If the privateer overstepped the bounds of the contract, the ship's crew could be prosecuted by its own government."

Technology shows the evolution of piracy...with satellite tracking, GPS capability and the ability to acquire virtually any information over the internet (cargo manifests, etc) - piracy (like everything else) has come into the 21st century.
