Pirate History
Piracy was a problem thousands of years before the Spanish began to bring gold, silver, and other treasures from
the New World back to Spain. Men sailed the seas as pirates when countries began to cross the Oceans and
Seas to trade goods with each other. Vikings, here long before the "Golden Age" of piracy, were nothing more than
"pirates" themselves. They sailed all over the Atlantic Ocean, but especially terrorized the European coastlines.
Piracy was also active in the waters surrounding Asia. As ships were built bigger and better, opportunistic men
began to spread piracy throughout the New World.
This pirate chess set is as ideal for display as it is for fiercely competitive play and will undoubtedly be cherished
by you and your family for years to come. You would be hard-pressed to find a better way to introduce your kids or
grand kids to the game of chess as well as the colorful history of piracy on the high seas. You'd be equally
hard-pressed to find a better value for hand-painted chess pieces of this beauty, size and quality.
The British Navy vs. Pirates chess set is the perfect gift for the collector as well as the non-collector, the serious
player and the not-so-serious player, the young and the old. Or, buy one for yourself and proudly display it in your
home or office. Buy today. We guarantee you won't be disappointed.
