  Pirate Encyclopedia: Don Pedro Gibert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Said to be the last American pirate, Don Pedro Gibert (cited by many sources as Don Pedro Gilbert) was actually a South American born pirate who made his home in South Florida.
Don Pedro Gibert's ship and all twelve men (thirteen counting Gibert himself) were found off the coast of Africa, loading slaves, by the British Navy in 1833.
Though Gibert and his crew were the last historical pirates to operate in US waters, acts of piracy still occur, especially in the waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans around Asia.
