Frederick Marryat's 'The Pirate' is a thrilling sea story set in the early 1800s. The story begins with a young woman getting married and giving birth to twin boys. However, a shipwreck separates the family, and the boys grow up not knowing of each other's existence. One of the brothers becomes an officer in the Royal Navy, while the other finds himself on a pirate ship, an experience he never wanted.
