Where were piratesfound?

Pirates were historically found in various regions around the world, most notably in the Caribbean Sea during the Golden Age of Piracy in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. They also operated along the coasts of North America, the Mediterranean Sea, and in the waters around the Indian ocean and Southeast Asia. Pirate activity was often concentrated in areas with lucrative trade routes and limited naval presence, allowing them to attack merchant ships with relative impunity.
