What is the life expectancy of a pirate?

The life expectancy of a pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy (approximately 1650-1730) was relatively short, often estimated to be around 30 to 40 years. Factors contributing to this low life expectancy included violent confrontations, disease, harsh living conditions, and the dangers of maritime life. Many pirates faced early deaths due to battles, executions, or accidents at sea, while others lived to old age by retiring peacefully. Overall, the perilous lifestyle significantly impacted their longevity.
