Welcome to the crews quarters!
"BUCCANEER", is the name given to sea wonderers who prayed upon vessels in the Caribbean Sea in the 1600's.
The name buccaneer comes from the French word "boucan", which means a place for curing meat. The earliest boucaniers, or buccaneers, lived on West Indian Islands.
They stole cattle, smoked the meat, and sold it to passing ships. English, French, and Dutch buccaneers boldly robbed the heavy Spanish galleons of gold and jewels,
and went on to attack and burn Spanish colonies. One of the most famous buccaneers was Henry Morgan, whos exploits included the capture and destruction of the city
of Panama in 1661. Morgan was actually given a knighthood by the King of England.
