The Sevens Seas
The pirates were very cruel and bold outlaws. Every ship that left the wharf was unsafe and can be robbed. It was very dangerous and unsettling time.
However, pirates had some rules too:
1. No Fighting: On the pirate ship they were not allowed to fight to each other or dispute things in a violent way.
Every issue should be resolved on the shore.
2. No Games: Any form of gambling (for money or doubloons) was also forbidden aboard the ship.
3. Bedtime: despite their reputation as savage people, pirates also had a regime and had to go to sleep at 8 PM.
Because a tired pirate was a bad pirate.
The punishment was harsh: pirates who didn't follow the rules were marooned on a desert island without food and water. Without any trees to get shade, any fruit to pick, or any animals to catch for food. Only two things were handed to the traitor: a bottle of rum and a pistol.

Hi Robert,
Very detailed description of pirates in the past! I reckon that they must have led very mundane lives on board, as compared to our modern lifestyles.
Cheers,
