it is what pirates do

not really like in the movies but they did attack british and american ships in the colonization of americas when the trade routes from britian and america ships would cross and they would attack the ship and take the "treasurers" on board. not like the pirates of the caribbean where they go into a cave. similar to todays samoly pirates that kill and take people for ransom in south east africa.

Not usually. Pirates were sometimes given ships by governments that wanted to hire them, sometimes they were wealthy enough to have ships built for them, sometimes they just commandeered other ships.
Long ago, pirates were sailors who engaged in acts of robbery and violence at sea. They would attack and plunder other ships, looting valuable cargo such as gold, silver, and spices. Some pirates also targeted coastal towns and settlements, pillaging and terrorizing the local inhabitants.
