    According to that image French privateering ended before two of those other things started, right?

    Am I missing something?

      I think that’s why they specified an “elderly” privateer - past their glory days.

      That‘s the reason for elderly French pirate. The people involved didn’t just disappear because privateering ended.

        Wait, you’re telling me that privateers don’t just grow into the hulls of their ships like Bill Turner?

        Some say there are pirates to this very day, and that they sail a sea that holds no water

          There are pirates right now, and they are sailing on water.

          They just don’t , you know, dress up like old timey pirates.

            And there’s also pirates right now who are downloading stuff they don’t own.

        Oh, ic. That does appear to be what OOP meant.

        Would you still call them a pirate though? More of an ex-pirate imo. If someone was a blacksmith in their 20s and is now a chef in their 60s. You would not call them an elderly blacksmith.

      Elderly French pirate so they would be in in their 60s or more

        I don’t think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.

          John King was somewhere from eight to eleven when he became a pirate.
