Pirates of Mauritius This book tells the true stories of mariners who became marauders, attacking, hiding, recruiting and disputing in and around Mauritius in the 17th and 18th centuries. Pirates stopped here to rest their crews, provision their ships, offload their captives, and occasionally to maroon their own men. Read the real, authenticated accounts of pirates like John Bowen and Olivier La Buse who once haunted these shores. (This book is currently sold out and is being reprinted.
