Step into the treacherous world of "The Lion of Crete," the enigmatic and ruthless pirate who ruled the Mediterranean in the 18th century. Discover the captivating stories of this mysterious figure, whose real name remains a mystery to this day. Commanding a fleet of pirate ships, he unleashed audacious attacks on unsuspecting merchant vessels, striking fear into the hearts of sailors across the region. Don't miss this thrilling glimpse into the audacity and ferocity of Cretan pirates that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Piracy in the Aegean Sea was a sophisticated operation that involved a network of pirates, merchants, and other collaborators. The pirates had bases on various islands and the mainland, from where they launched their attacks. They used fast and maneuverable ships, armed with cannons and other weapons, to overpower their targets. Once they captured a ship, they would loot its cargo, including money, precious metals, and slaves. They would then sell the loot to merchants and other traders, who were willing to buy them at a lower price. #shorts #pirates #piratesoftheaegean

📍If Gypsea Explorer were a human, her sails would be the arms that catch the wind, carrying us through the water. 💨🌊 ✅ We have three sails on our Sceptre 41; a Mainsail, a gib and an asymmetrical spinnaker. They all have different and important functions. 😱 When we went sailing on a little test ride, the Mainsail ripped, so we had to do a quick repair. The fantastic Kelly at Ullman Sails, made us a new Mainsail, and inspected our other sails. The Gib was sent to Bainbridge Island for a good scrubbing.
