-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:03:26 -0400 From: Grabach, Kenneth A. Mr. <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> My library does not have actual pirate maps, as in "X" marks the spot for buried treasure. However, I do provide a link to this http://www.icc-ccs.org/piracy-reporting-centre/live-piracy-map from the International Chamber of Commerce Commercial Crime Services. It shows locations of actual and attempted attacks, and also suspicious vessel sightings. Talk like a pirate day is fun. But piracy is not just a romance of an earlier era, it still occurs. It's not fun. For the perpetrators it's a rough way to earn a livelihood. For the preyed upon, it's a question of survival. For governments and shipping companies, and insurers it raises shipping costs, takes lives, and costs national treasure to maintain the safety of the seas.
