The Last Corsair
Into the drama of WWI, a man, and his ship, ending the Corsairs Era with a marvelous long adventure: the Seeadler, a Norwegian captured vessel under the command of the German KaptainLeutnant Felix von Luckner, roam the oceans and take down about 15 tons of enemy vessels in 225 days. The last days of the Great Corsairs Era, since Drake and Hawkins times it's came to the end, but the Seeadler adventures declare his grand finale.
They roamed the high seas, with this magnificent ship, armed with two powerful 105 guns, a Diesel engine, and a series of uniforms held into the main mast, in search of enemy merchantmens. Felix von Luckner's life and adventures was also brilliants as his corsair times. I want honor mens like this, ready to lost all in a single throw, with this write about the last corsair ship.
Please, read the Seeadler history, the last corsair ship worthy of this name,and his brave captain, Felix von Luckner.
