Pirate stories have their own language, half history and half legend. A crew sailed a galleon, dropped anchor in hidden coves, and steered by compass toward a mark on a map. Real plunder came in coins like the doubloon, though buried treasure is mostly a storyteller's invention, as is walking the plank. A cutlass was short enough to swing on a crowded deck, cannon fire opened a fight, and mutiny was the constant risk. This word puzzle gathers eleven of them.
