Main topic: Pirates


Subtopic 1 – What did they do
Pirates' main means of living was to steal from
others. They'd steal treasures like gold and jewels,
yes, but most of the time, pirates would steal things
to aid in their survival. Food, drink, and supplies for
sailing would make their way off of one ship and
onto a pirate's ship in no time!
Subtopic 2-What did pirates like

Pirates loved to eat, drink, and be merry. They were


known to be revelers for a reason...they liked to
feast and party! Soaking in all of the luxuries of life
in one night was of importance to a pirate because
who knows when they would have the opportunity
again? In a month at sea, they might be eating
rotten bread and drinking spoiled water. A large
majority of pirates were alcoholics, as documented
by pirates themselves, so drinking was a pastime
that filled their days when the resources were
available.

Subtopic 3 – What did pirates drink

Alcohol, of course! The pirates in the Caribbean are


most likely to have consumed a lot of rum (alcohol
made of sugar cane), a resource available on farms
throughout the Caribbean. Beer and ale were also a
favorite and were often stolen in raids of other
ships along with mead, brandy, and wine. Any kind
of alcohol was subject to being stolen and downed
by pirates...let's face it, they were drinkers. We
picture pirates stealing chests of gold and jewels
when in reality, they were most likely stealing
chests of liquor!
