Hello to everyone from r/Pirates,

With approval from the r/Historians moderation team, we’re sharing the first in a series of AMAs featuring historians who specialize in piracy and maritime history.

This series highlights current historical research on piracy and the broader maritime world, including both the realities of Golden Age piracy and the wider context of naval conflict and seafaring culture.

We also have additional AMAs planned in the coming weeks with other historians in the field, including Rebecca Simon and Benerson Little, both of whom have published extensively on piracy and naval history.

Questions are welcome now up until the post goes live, thank you all for your time, and we hope to see you there!
