Keeps me coming back for more...

I found this book on a shelf at my in-laws in England and no one knew where it came from! I had attempted to read the "Master and Commander" series, but the language of the day made it impossible to grasp. Instead I found another tale of maritime history - this one much easier to understand and follow! I have read all of Clifford's books now, and am searching for more tales of adventure on the high seas. A very interesting account of privateers and the search for pirate treasure by a first-timer. Highly recommend.
