Buccaneer
The
buccaneers were
pirates who attacked
Spanish shipping in the
Caribbean Sea during the 17th century. The term
buccaneer is now used generally as a synonym for
pirate. Originally, buccaneer crews were larger, more apt to attack coastal cities, and more localized to the Caribbean Sea than later pirate crews who sailed to the
Indian Ocean on the
Pirate Round in the late 17th century.
