Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Please anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. Use the sentence following them to help get the answer. ID CLANK GOB Shipping officials from around the world are in favor of ____________ the Somali coast to intercept and prevent piracy.

Answer: BLOCKADING

Though it is common to think of pirates as something from the past, it is still common in some parts of the world today. In fact, blockades have been proposed to solve the modern problem of piracy in and around Somalia's Gulf of Aden. That country suffered problems due to the fall of its central government in 1991, which led to widespread piracy in and around its waters.

2. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. CRAB DAB ELK The notorious Edward Teach was better known as _____________.

Answer: BLACKBEARD

One of the most well-known pirates, Edward Teach, began his exploits sometime around 1708, plundering in and around the West Indies and the eastern coast of Britain's North American colonies until his death in 1718, at the age of 38.

3. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. GOBLET OGRE The customs officials found that the captain was also a _____________ because he was illegally transporting rum on his ship and selling it at other ports.

Answer: BOOTLEGGER

Bootleggers originally trafficked in alcohol, but now the term can be used for any illicit trade of goods, such as illegal copies of movies and music sold without paying the authors their royalties.

4. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. GYRO OR JELL Many a seafaring soul was terrified to see the black and white _____ ______ flying on a ship in the distance.

Answer: JOLLY ROGER

The eighteenth century was the Golden Age of Piracy, and the pirate flag known as the Jolly Roger, with its skull and crossbones, was a truly frightening sight for both passengers and crew on ocean-crossing ships at that time.

5. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. FLIGHT MUD NANCY Perhaps the most famous phantom ship of all is the _____________ _____________. (Johnny Depp's character had to captain it in one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies).

Answer: FLYING DUTCHMAN

The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship that is doomed to sail the seas forever, never entering port again. The story dates back to the 18th century when a foolish captain was said to have cursed God, swearing to make it around a treacherous cape without the help of his maker, even if it took him and his crew forever to do so.

6. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. TAPIOCA HONK Peter Pan knew how to foil this one-handed pirate named _______ ________!

Answer: CAPTAIN HOOK

7. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. PLANT HAWK ELK If you were a misbehaving pirate in days of yore, you might have been told to _____ ____ _____!

Answer: WALK THE PLANK

Though walking the plank is a common element of most pirate stories and movies, it doesn't seem to have been too popular a punishment among real pirates. If a cohort or mutineer needed to be executed, there were quicker and easier ways to do so.

Answer: BUCCANEERS

9. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. AS EARDRUM The _________ were condemned for their crimes at sea and were sentenced to death.

Answer: MARAUDERS

Marauding is a term used in some nations' laws for the illegal actions of groups of criminals against innocents. It has long been used to describe the carousing behavior of pirates at sea.

10. Anagram the CAPITALIZED WORDS. The sentence following them will help you guess the answer. DOSAGES The men protested their innocence, saying they were not pirates, but nothing more than ______ ______.

Answer: SEA DOGS
