As international trade expands, increasing numbers of merchant vessels, deeply laden with rich cargoes, are plying the sea lanes. Light fingered seafarers are quick to take the opportunity of getting rich beyond their wildest dreams by seizing the booty so ready to hand in the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean and the Spanish Main. So piracy grows apace while the navies of Britain, France, Spain and Holland are busy fighting each other instead of protecting their merchant shipping. The 'Freebooter's Golden Age' has dawned. In'The Pirates of Shearwater Island' Amyas Camperdown a King's Officer tells how he found himself as a youth helping to track down and destroy one of the most feared of the pirate fleets. Eric Cullingford (1910-2003), was a Ministry of Labour employee and advocate for the reserved occupations system which ensured the supply of goods to the front during the Second World War. An expert on Germany, he also worked for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and a number of European embassies. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
