| Welcome to the Pirates Guild of The International Brotherhood of Buccaneers. The Guild is dedicated to the history, myth, and legends of the pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy. An era that was certainly brutal both for the pirates and their victims but, tempered by time, has also assumed a romantic role in our thoughts and hearts. |
| If you are a pirate at heart then you're in the right place. The International Brotherhood of Buccaneers is all about the golden age of piracy, the history, the weaponry, and even the politics of that bygone era. Membership is free for those who would like to join. Just email Capt Blood to register and get on the email list. |

| About Buccaneers: Any of the British, French, or Dutch sea adventurers who chiefly haunted the Caribbean and the Pacific seaboard of South America during the latter part of the 17th century, preying on Spanish settlements and shipping. Though inspired by such privateers as Englishman Francis Drake, the buccaneers were not legitimate privateers (the commissions they held were seldom valid), but neither were they the outlawed pirates who flourished in the 18th century. Usually escaped servants, former soldiers, or loggers, they ran their ships democratically, divided plunder equitably, and even provided a form of accident insurance. |
