Hi folks.

Just wanted to know if there are any known online resources with
respect to pirates. No, not the peg leg eye patch kind, but the real
kind on the water. I want to investigate how real these stories are
that I hear about.

Google turned up nothing from news sources which looked reputable?

This subject comes up on occasion over in rec.boats.cruising.
Try there.

You might check out this website for weekly piracy
reports:

This entity is indirectly connected with the IMO and
is very credible.

Google up Congress and Government.

Just tried that. As expected, no mention of piracy. Maybe a better choice of
search terms would fare better.

However, I did not look at all 13,300,000 search results. Just the first
couple of pages.

Maybe you should explain how a google search for the words "congress" and
"government" should be an especially effective way to find out more about
piracy, since those words do not fulfill that goal.
