Smuggling features in our collections, and we also have records of the customs agents dedicated to stopping it. Pirates raiding Cornish villages and ships also crop up in our archives. Lists of collections in the parish registers reveal a number of ransoms for captives taken by Barbary pirates. A document locating Avery the pirate’s buried treasure in Cornwall is particularly intriguing.
