Pirates were often unofficially sponsored by governments, leading to various terms like "corsair," "buccaneer," and "privateer." However, these terms are not synonymous with "pirate," which refers to any crime involving a body of water and a boat. Here are seven of the most unbelievable pirate attacks in history:</p>

Francis Drake captured the Spanish treasure ship Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, also known as the Cacafuego. The haul was so vast that it took Drake's crew six days to unload the loot.</p>
<p>François l'Olonnais's vengeful spree began in 1666 after surviving a shipwreck and a massacre by the Spanish. L'Olonnais carried out a series of brutal raids, with his most infamous act involving cutting open a Spanish prisoner and gnawing on his heart.</p>
