| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A pirate code is
a code of conduct invented for governing pirates. Generally each pirate
crew had its own code or articles, which provided rules for discipline,
division of stolen goods, and compensation for injured pirates. Each
crew member was asked to sign or make his mark on the articles, then
swear an oath of allegiance or honor. The oath was sometimes taken on a
Bible, but John Phillips' men, lacking a Bible, swore on an axe. Legend
suggests that other pirates swore on crossed pistols, swords, or on a
human skull, or astride a cannon. This act formally inducted the signer
into the pirate crew, generally entitling him to vote for officers and
on other "affairs of moment," to bear arms, and to his share of the
plunder. The articles having been signed, they were then posted in a
prominent place, often the door of the grand cabin. |
