Pirates Who Don't Do Anything










We have been learning about pirates who went plundering in ancient times.These pirates were from Europe and were poor, miserable, and unemployed. They became pirates to start PLUNDERING (stealing) goods, BLOOD DIAMONDS, TOBACCO, and SLAVERY.
It was hard work plundering merchant ships(ships that have goods, or trading and selling) because their GOLD MUST be REALLY HEAVY to carry that much gold. I forgot that smaller ships are the fastest! I recon that is pretty sad that they touchier slaves, witch are from Africa?!

Navigation

This Picture here is Nicholas Young. He was a sailor on Captain Cooks Ship for a look out voyage. Nicholas Young was a surgeons boy and eleven years old when he left his family! On Captain Cooks ship he is a navigator.

Navigating is something you could use to set sail on sea. You must make sure, that you are going the right direction.

Polynesian People


Polynesian people touched down on Aotearoa 1000 years ago. Individual people came by canoe, which Maori people used well sailing on the verge of death. Some of the boats had single hulls, without riggers or double hulls. There was plunks slashed together, which were 15 to 25 meters long.
Trained navigators steered under a direct trail of stars by night and sea swells by day. Not many of them managed to cross the dangerous seas of Aotearoa.
