What is the pirate's term for a ship's crew overtaking another ship?

In pirate terminology, the act of a ship's crew taking over another ship is called boarding. This involved pirates pulling alongside a target vessel, throwing grappling hooks to bring the ships together, and then climbing or swinging across to the enemy ship to engage in combat and seize control. Pirates were notorious for their boarding tactics and carried specialized weapons such as cutlasses, pistols, and boarding axes designed for close-quarters combat during these raids. The goal of boarding was typically to capture the ship and its cargo, and sometimes to press captured sailors into the pirate crew.
