The Pirate's Realm — FAQ

Q — Why a site about pirates?
A — There’s been an increase in the popular interest in pirates for several years. Some reasons might include the discovery of pirate ships like the Whydah and the Queen Anne’s Revenge, and the tremendous success of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean. My own interest has several factors like a deep interest in history, a love of the sea, a fascination with Golden Age pirates, a desire to write about it, and an enjoyment of telling others.
