Pirate weapons
these weapons were used to invade other ships to steal the gold
Cutlass:
A short, thick, slashing sword or sabre
Sailors favorite weapon because it was strong enough to hack through heavy ropes, canvas, and wood. It was also short enough to use in close quarters.
Boarding Axes and Tomahawks:
Boarding axes had a 2 to 3 foot handle
They were a combination of a sharp blade, and a blunt hammer
They were used for cutting boarding hooks, bring down masts and tearing through pretty much everything in the way of loot, doors, hatches, or locks
Used for climbing from a smaller ship to a larger one( a portable handle)
