This map shows all reported piracy and armed robbery incidents from the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre during 2009. If exact coordinates are not available, estimated positions are shown based on information provided. Typical GoogleMaps functions are available: zoom-in and click on pointers to view more information. Multiple incidents may be superimposed.

Additionally, there is an interesting exhibit at the Field Museum of Chicago called ‘Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah, From Slave Ship to Pirate Ship‘.

This is not a new problem. What would happen if we returned to old solutions?
