Episode 1 of 1
Unverified 1560 Start
- When
- 1560 (unverified)
- Where
- Caribbean region
The legacy claim of a 1560 start for Caribbean piracy is not supported by the supplied passages, which focus on later periods and general definitions.
The provided sources do not contain evidence confirming that the great age of piracy in the Caribbean began in 1560. Instead, they reference the 'Golden Age' in the context of 1724 literature and note a new phase of piracy beginning in the 1690s, leaving the specific 1560 date unsubstantiated by the current evidence.
