The Danish ship Danica White was 240 nautical miles from the coast when it was hijacked. Seems that the pirates can attack far away from the shore.

Piracy was rampant in the 1800's. The U.S. Navy went on a rampage exterminating every pirate they could find all around the world. Piracy was almost non-existent for the next 100 years. I've got to think that it's about time for another purge.

I agree! Or boys are quite capable of dealing with the problem, always have been. There's only one problem, our politicians actually had balls back then. Today they carry cotex in their handbags. Boy have we digressed.
