The pirate ships were primarily targeting the waters of the Pacific Ocean, specifically the coastal areas around Acapulco, Mexico. Acapulco was a key port for Spanish galleons transporting gold and silver from the Philippines and other places back to Spain. The pirates sought to intercept these lucrative treasure ships in the bay and surrounding waters.
