{"product_id":"atlantic-piracy-in-the-early-sarah-craze-9781783276707","title":"Atlantic Piracy in the Early Nineteenth Century: The Shocking Story of the Pirates and the Survivors of the Morning Star","description":"The pirate attack on the British brig \u003ci\u003eMorning Star\u003c\/i\u003e, en route from Ceylon to London, near Ascension Island in 1828 was one of the most shocking episodes of piracy in the nineteenth century. Although the captain and many members of the crew were murdered by the pirates led by the notorious Benito de Soto, some survived, escaped and sailed the ship back to Britain. This book, based on extensive original research in Britain, Spain and Brazil, retells the story of the \u003ci\u003eMorning Star\u003c\/i\u003e, provides much new detail and corrects errors present in the many contemporary accounts of the attack. It sets the attack in the wider context of piracy in the period, and discusses many issues which the episode highlights: how pirates' careers began and developed; how they were pursued and tried, often with difficulty; what became of their treasure; how stories of the attack and of the survivors were sensationalised; how the women passengers on the ship endured their ordeal at the hands of the pirates and then, back in Britain, had to endure potential loss of their reputations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Craze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783276703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783276707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sarah Craze","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077328040191,"sku":"9781783276707","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a713ec76-7e58-421e-85b7-0f3c18acaa2d.jpg?v=1685469388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/atlantic-piracy-in-the-early-sarah-craze-9781783276707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
