- Synopsis:
Henry Morgan, Henry Jennings, Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, 'Calico' Jack, 'Black Bart' Roberts - during the mid to late 17th and early 18th centuries, they were feared criminals who terrorized the Caribbean targeting the parade of treasure and cargo bound for Europe. The origins of Caribbean piracy began when Columbus made landfall in the Bahamas. Two years later, the Pope granted Spain the exclusive right to the Caribbean and most of the New World. The Spanish reaped an immense fortune in gold and silver, but it came with a price. England, France and Holland all desired a portion of this wealth and each established Caribbean bases and used privateers - private sailors fighting for profit - to protect their interests and steal Spanish treasure. However, the line between privateering and piracy quickly became blurred. With state of the art animation, reenactments and interviews with historians, authors and experts, this brand new production from The History Channel examines the golden age of piracy and how their deadly profession captured the imagination of the world. - Actors:
