    Wikipedia, Sea Glass,
    Antique black sea glass
    New research suggests that as many as 60 government-sanctioned pirates may have operated from Sydney Cove and the Pacific in the early days of the colony. These privateers, which included merchant ships, whalers, and sealers, seized Spanish and French ships using cannons and traveled as far as South America.
    Most Australian pirates were convicts who stole ships to escape punishment. Many were recaptured or presumed lost at sea, but some escaped and...
    reappeared elsewhere.
    Pirate Glass: Black Sea Glass
    From the Golden Age of Piracy, a single type of glass stands apart from all sea glass; Black sea glass or Pirate Glass. The type of glass bottles used in the sea trade contained iron and other strengtheners that caused the glass to change color over the years of being in the sea. Because of this, Pirate Glass is dated to that time period definitively. Many of these bottles began thier new lives from wrecked ships due to storms and piracy. When you touch Pirate Glass, you reach further backwards in time than any other sea glass.
