Free texts?

[Booga]

Oi there!

I was wondering if anyone knows about any copyright-free texts bout pirates in digital form that one can use.

We are trying to collect as many texts as possible on our site at the moment, but I realized that there are very few...

As we all know there were quite a few books written bout pirates several hundred years ago and many of these should be copyright-free by now. But are they digitalized? Other subjects interresting would be fencing, sailing, guns, historical food and drinks and historical gaming. The idea is not to collect links but to collect the actual texts so the we won´t be depending on an external servers existence.

Best wishes
