The British Navy placed ships along the east coast in a naval blockade during various conflicts to control maritime access and protect against enemy actions. This strategy aimed to restrict supplies and reinforcements to opposing forces while ensuring safe passage for British vessels. Such blockades were crucial in exerting naval dominance and influencing the outcomes of wars, particularly during the American Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars. The presence of naval ships served as both a deterrent and a means of enforcing British maritime interests.

Were the pirates in british somaliland or Italian Somalia?

Yes. There have been Pirates along the Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden going back to early history. The great historian Ptolemy in 150 BC reported inhabitants with "piratical "tendencies' inhabited the region in 150 BC. More recently, in 1854, British officials in Aden warned the British explorer Richard Burton of Pirates along the coast. Indeed, British occupation of British Somalia was partially based on the need to eliminate piracy. That was the same reason for the British occupation of Malaysia. And, for your information, it was the French occupancy of North Africa in the 1830s that finally ended Barbary piracy, not the relatively feeble US Naval attacks on the shores of Tripoli.
