Somali Pirates


These pirates have attacked many people. There has been a recorded 63 attacks and 26 hijackings. They have taken over12 ships and 259 sailors that remain captive. The pirates pursue their prey on small motor boats to promote the element of surprise. They come on a big boat and POUNCE! They now use newer technologies so instead of using row boats they have motor boats. The Faina a boat captured by the Pirates had a ransom of $20 million, but later dropped to $5 million. These pirates are the most well known pirates for decades now, and probably will be known for many years to come.
