Pirates were sailors who stole from others. They sailed on ships and not lived on them. Ship life was hard. There was no beds or bunks, no cooking, no washing, no bathrooms. The crews on ships were often very rough men. When they were in port they were off the ship.

The British Royal Navy were stopping American ships and taking sailors to be on the British crews.
Ships were commonly raided during voyages. Pirates often raided Spanish ships for treasure and these ships were also raided and attacked by ships from other countries.
The number of pirates on a crew varied widely depending on the ship and time period, but typical pirate crews could range from a dozen members to over a hundred. Smaller ships, like sloops, might have around 20-50 pirates, while larger vessels, such as frigates, could accommodate 100 or more. Crews often fluctuated due to battles, desertions, and recruitment. Ultimately, the size of a pirate crew was influenced by the ship's capacity and the operational goals of the pirates.
