- Abstract
In 1603, the new King of England, James I, succeeded Elizabeth I on the throne and, soon after, he outlawed and closed English ports to privately commissioned ships. I The Alliance of Pirates: Ireland and Atlantic piracy in the early seventeenth century i is a pioneering, landmark study, expertly researched and written by underwater and maritime archaeologist Connie Kelleher. Kelleher leads us to agree with her conclusion that the early seventeenth-century heyday of piracy around the coast of Munster and the North Atlantic, "should now properly be seen as Ireland's golden age of piracy.".
