"Pirates had extensive land networks that kept them in touch with the outside world," Geanacopoulos explained to Georgetown. "They had a sort of mail system (ships ferrying letters back and forth) that allowed them to communicate with relatives, as well as a commuter service to take 'retiring' pirates from their famous haunts in Madagascar to more mundane lives in America."
