This press release came across my desk. It's not commercial maritime, but I had to post it somewhere, because it's about pirates! Arrrgh. I find myself torn between the romaticized version of historical pirates, (my eight-year-old loves Captain Jack Sparrow, and so do I, I have to admit) and the daily news I post on real-life pirates and their 600 some hostages still in danger and waiting to get hom to their families.
