Talking about pirates, nothing matches to Nosy Boraha island which is near Madagascar and tells numerous occurrences from pirate world.

In XVII and XVIII centuries about 1000 pirates this island called their home, including one of the ruthless these centuries pirates like William Kidd and Thomas Tew. For pirates this island was ideal place: safe and secluded shores, and there were more than one trade routes.

Because in the island lives so much pirates with their families, that's nothing special that this island can be names the only one pirates cemetery. This island is worth seeing.

Island is pretty big, its length is 57 kilometers but width is only 10 kilometers. Now in this island lives about 26 thousands people. It is argued that pirates was created their country - Libertalia.

In the island you can see not only heaven like landscape, but and crumbled pirate tombstones. Its hard to read pirate surnames on the tombstones because they're very old and worn out. On one tombstone you can barely see skull with crossed bones. Every island inhabitant states that this drawing is authentic.
