It depends on the type of pirate you're talking about.Modern day pirates have do deal, of course, with the danger of dying, getting shot by AK's, machine guns, or Navy Seals. Past pirates had to look out for, still, guns, knives, and fire. Oh boy did they have to look out for fire. A wooden ship is pretty easy to set fire to if the crew is desperate for escape, but a steel carrier ship, uhhhhh not so much.

With no motors thay had to make sure the wind was at their back and they had the supplies for their trip .

Another huge thing you had to worry about was scurvy.
