WHAT IS PIRACY?

Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal
violence by ship or boat-borne
attackers upon another ship or a coastal area,
typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable goods.
Those who conduct acts of piracy are called pirates,
and vessels used for piracy are called pirate ships.
The earliest documented instances
of piracy were in the 14th century BC,
when the Sea Peoples, a group of ocean raiders,
attacked the ships of the Aegean and Mediterranean civilisations.
Narrow channels which funnel shipping into predictable routes
have long created opportunities for piracy, as well as
for privateering and commerce raiding.
