Whereas seventeenth-century piracy has been recognised as an integrated component of the developing European Atlantic world, eighteenth-century pirates have been marginalised as an isolated group with few ties to landed communities. Such evaluations have stressed the heightened extension of state authority to the colonial theatre in the eighteenth century and, by doing so, have overlooked how pirates continued to interact with colonial actors operating in contested and unclaimed regions throughout the Atlantic commons. It is imperative that the Atlantic commons is given full consideration in any discussion of Atlantic maritime activity as it was within these expanses that inter-imperial, inter-colonial, and cross-border colonial actors converged. This article utilises the piratical voyage captained by Howell Davies (and later Bartholomew Roberts) to demonstrate that it was within this commons that eighteenth-century piratical voyages were sustained and facilitated through the forced acquisition of supplies, through markets for plundered goods, and through the opportunities available for dispersing amongst landed communities at the end of expeditions. Continued connections between colonial denizens and pirates in the eighteenth century compels a reassessment of pirates’ isolation to instead place them within the wider population of coastal traders, sojourning mariners, and marginal colonial settlers who existed both within and outside of the imperial framework espoused by state and colonial centres. Ultimately, this questions the overall ability of European states to regulate maritime traffic when vessels sailed out of sight of established colonial ports, and beyond the practical reach of imperial authority.

从加勒比海到克雷格尼什：十八世纪早期大西洋公地的帝国权威和海盗航行

尽管 17 世纪的海盗被认为是发展中的欧洲大西洋世界的一个组成部分，但 18 世纪的海盗被边缘化为一个孤立的群体，与陆地社区几乎没有联系。此类评估强调了 18 世纪国家权力向殖民剧院的高度扩展，并因此忽略了海盗如何继续与在整个大西洋公域有争议和无人认领的地区活动的殖民行为者互动。在任何关于大西洋海上活动的讨论中，都必须充分考虑大西洋公域，因为帝国间、殖民地间和跨界殖民行为体正是在这些范围内汇聚在一起的。本文利用由豪厄尔·戴维斯（以及后来的巴塞洛缪·罗伯茨）领导的海盗航行来证明，正是在这个公地内，通过强制获取供应品、掠夺货物市场以及通过掠夺货物的市场，18 世纪的海盗航行得以维持和促进。在探险结束时分散在有土地的社区中的机会。18 世纪殖民居民和海盗之间的持续联系迫使人们重新评估海盗的孤立性，转而将他们置于更广泛的沿海贸易商、旅居海员和边缘殖民定居者的范围内，这些移民既存在于国家所支持的帝国框架内，也存在于国家支持的帝国框架之外和殖民中心。最终，
