About this listen
The history of Sephardi Pirates is intricately woven into the fabric of the Caribbean's maritime history, particularly during the age of piracy. Originating first from Jerusalem and then from their exile homeland, the Iberian Peninsula, Sephardi Jews faced severe persecution during the Spanish Inquisition, leading many to flee to various parts of the world, including the Caribbean, and many had turned to Piracy. In the Caribbean, Sephardi Jews played a vital role in the burgeoning trade networks that characterized the region during the 17th and 18th centuries. With their extensive knowledge of maritime navigation and trade practices acquired from centuries of experience in Mediterranean commerce, and even beyond from the ancient time of king Solomon and the subsequent Persian Empire. Culinary traditions also reflect the Sephardi influence on Caribbean culture. Sephardi migrants settled in various Caribbean islands, from Christopher Columbus time to the last colonial powers, they brought with them their millennial old rich cultural traditions, including unique maritime practices inherited from their renown ancestors, and their culinary influences that would shape the local societies.
