Following the pirate scourge of the early 18th century, sea captains took to privateering as a means of making money. It details the privateer captains of the golden age of "state-sponsored piracy" - men such as John Paul Jones, Jean Lafitte, and Benito de Soto. A form of nationally sponsored piracy, it reached its peak during the American Revolution, with the fledgling American navy relying on privateers to disrupt British shipping between England and the rebellious colonies.
It includes episodes such as Bonhomme Richard's epic battle with HMS Serapis.
