About International Pirate Month

Travel & Tourism
Ends: Aug 31, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Sponsored by the thespian group Rogue's Armada, International Pirate Month celebrates pirates' legend rather than reality.
Pirating remains a severe problem in several parts of the world, most notably off the horn of Africa, the Gulf of Aden, and off the coast of India.
The World Shipping Council notes:
"The issue of piracy against merchant's vessels poses a significant threat to world shipping. In 2011, 439 pirate attacks and 45 merchant vessels were hijacked worldwide. Two hundred thirty-seven of these attacks and 28 hijackings occurred in the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Somalia, and in the wider Indian ocean. As of spring 2012, there have been more than 51 attacks off Somalia (121 worldwide), 11 hijackings off Somalia (13 worldwide), and over 158 hostages taken off Somalia. Currently, 12 ships and more than 170 seafarers are being held hostage by Somali pirates for ransom."

Use International Pirate Month for fun, but also use it, especially if you're a seafarer, yachter, bare boater, or pleasure boater, to learn about piracy and how to protect yourself against it and avoid where it occurs.
