But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone's survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese 'Laws' were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, to punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the \u003cem\u003ePirates' Code\u003c\/em\u003e, which all pirates had to publicly swear by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing primary sources such as eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates' success in battle, on sea, and on land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850364014828,"sku":"9781789147117","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/28000213482824.jpg?v=1759084258","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-pirates-code-by-rebecca-simon-9781789147117","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
