Pirate ships were usually stolen
Most pirates didn’t commission ships, no, they f*ckin’ stole them. They’d seize merchant vessels, then retrofit them with more guns and a leaner crew for speed and agility.
Captains often picked smaller, faster sloops or schooners over big warships because they were perfect for ambush and escape.
