The Middle Passage

The Middle Passage

The Trade Routes of major ships that were carrying various types of cargo and goods throughout the Atlantic sea.

The transatlantic routes are where The Golden Age of Piracy really thrived. When in need of men they would offer slaves the opportunity to join their crews, and when on the hunt for gold they would lay in wait for the opportunity to raid other ships from various countries.
