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.

Notable pirates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny operated during this time, capturing the imagination of many and leaving a lasting legacy in popular culture.

His reputation as a ruthless and brutal pirate further solidified his place in history as one of the most notorious pirates of all time.
