From PotC Wiki
(Redirected from Barbary coast)
The Barbary Coast was the term used to describe the area of coastal regions of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. The name was derived from the Berber people of North Africa.
The Barbary pirates, also known as the Ottoman corsairs, were known to operate out of the Barbary Coast up until the early 19th Century. The Pirate Lord Ammand the Corsair was the leader of this group during the War against piracy. He was wanted dead or alive by the East India Trading Company for crimes including piracy along the Barbary Coast.[1]
