As we see in the chapters Plundering the treasure ports and Sir Henry Morgan we see two pirate lords who raid the high seas and look for treasure to steal we that Sir Francis Drake raided a mule train in central America and came away with a treasure of about 12 million pounds when he captured a Spanish ship in Cacafuego. Sir Francis Drake also came away with a 68 million pound reward worth of treasure. Sir Henry Morgan had a similar story he ransomed the city to the president of Panama for gold and silver worth 250,000 pesos, in 1688 he led the capture of portobello by using the residents there as human shields, he also became the admiral for the brethren of the coast when he was 32 years of age. In Chapter 2 of Buccaneers and Pirates we see that its different from the two readings in under the black flag because in Buccaneers and Pirates we see that it highlights who Buccaneers were at sea and the fact that they opened their schools in the Caribbean sea. But the two books were similar because they both talked about the life of Sir Francis Drake and his endeavors with the Buccaneers.
