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.
