ICYMI, my new book, The Pirates' Code: Life and Laws Aboard Ship, is now out in the UK! I loved writing this more than any other project & I hope you enjoy it!
As always, if you enjoy it, please leave an Amazon review, which is a huge help to authors.

Todo esta historia está sacada del libro El Código Pirata de @Beckalex ♥️
No soy divulgador, ni historiador, simplemente quería escribir acerca de una de las piratas que más me han fascinado nunca, Anne Bonny, aprovechando @assassinscreed Black Flag ReSynced.
Gracias 🖤

Con el inminente lanzamiento de @assassinscreed Black Flag ReSynced, recomiendo a quien le interese la temática pirata, "El Código Pirata" de @Beckalex . Uno de mis libros favoritos, ojalá en un futuro traduzcan más de sus obras .📖🏴☠️⚔️

@Beckalex I loved your Capt. Kidd book so much that I had to get this one! Can't wait to read it!
I said I wouldn’t be active on here, but I gotta change it to limited because BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. Historian Jamie Goodall and I have teamed up to co-write a book called “Pirates and Privateering in 50 Objects,” examining links between material culture, plunder, & the maritime world
I’m sad but grateful for the people I’ve met and the opportunities I’ve had thanks to this site over the last 15 years. But Twitter is done and it’s time for new chapters. You can find me on

See you there, tweeps ✌️
Did I spend too much money ordering this? Yes. Do I care? Absolutely not.
ALT A bottle of rum called Anne Bonny!
It looks like loads of us are moving over to Bluesky as X gets worse. You can find me on there: @piratebeckalex.bsky.social. And for those of you on Threads, which is such a happy place it seems, I’m also on there as @piratebeckalex

My article, 'Mutiny on Trial', uses High Court of Admiralty records to analyse social and legal dynamics on ship and ashore in the seventeenth century: doi.org/10.1093/pastj/gtae03…

Pirates have been long associated with chests overflowing with coins. But did they make their fortunes in silver and are there chests of treasure still out there? Find out in Coins and the Sea episode 6!
