Page 1 of 4 These animations were created for the Pirate Tech episode of the Modern Marvels
series airing on The History Channel. They are presented here without
audio to avoid intellectual property issues. All content is the
original work of Rickert Digital Design except as noted. The ship models were adapted from third-party products.
Act 1 Upon acquiring a ship, pirates would strip out any equipment, cabins, compartments, bulkheads, etc. that didn't serve the purpose of sailing fast and carrying lots of loot.
Pirates liked to use shallow-draft ships in shallow coastal waters that large, heavy, deep-draft naval vessels couldn't pursue.
Pirates would add as many guns as were practical to their ships.
