pirate ships

Pirate ships are vessels historically used by pirates—criminals who hijack other ships to steal cargo, often in open waters. These ships are typically sturdy, fast, and agile to evade authorities and chase down targets. They are equipped with weapons like cannons and have a crew skilled in navigation and combat. Unlike commercial or military ships, pirate ships prioritize speed and maneuverability for quick attacks and escapes. Today, the image of pirate ships is popularized through movies and stories, but historically, they played a significant role in maritime piracy and naval history.
