The world’s most successful pirate was a woman. The 19th-century Chinese pirate Ching Shih, the widow of fearsome pirate Cheng I, became a hugely successful pirate in her own right, succeeding her husband and eventually commanding more than 1800 pirate ships and 80,000 men.

Sunglasses, lapel pins and the original $35 Apple Watch are just a few of the goods they couldn’t sell.
