Pirates of the Caribbean. Gulf of Mexico actually. Henry Morgan would be proud. From only yesterday.

Pirates active and at large. Hostis humani generis. Piracy a crime that can get you the death penalty. Thanks to Freeper for the tip.

"MAERSK offshore supply tug attacked in Gulf of Mexico"

"Erofey Schkvarkin News April 15, 2020 1:51 pm Offshore tug, supply ship MAERSK TRANSPORTER was attacked and boarded by armed pirates at night Apr 12 in Gulf of Mexico off Cuidad Del Carmen, Mexico, roughly in the same area where 3 days earlier Italian supply ship REMAS was attacked. Attack was carried out in same manner, too . . . Pirates took several crew as hostages and looted the ship, taking with valuable items. Crew luckily, weren’t hurt."

BEEN A WHILE SINCE I MADE A POST TO THE BLOG WITH THE TOPIC OF PIRACY. LET US HOPE THESE ARE MERELY ISOLATED INSTANCES AND WILL NOT BE PART OF A TREND!

Yea may the blackguards be apprehended forthwith and no mercy be shewn unto them.
