Galley slaves
Some prisoners were destined to live out their days as
galley slaves, rowing for decades without ever setting foot on shore,..."[citation needed] while others would spend long years in the seclusion of the Sultan's harem or within the walls of the Sultan
's palace as laborers.
The author makes this claim directly. Therefore no further citation is necessary. As to the question? I really don't know enough to answer your good question. Raggz (talk) 20:58, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cuando los musulmanes irrumpieron en Irlanda, Baltimore era uno de los mayores enclaves piratas de la zona. Sin embargo, la ‘razzia’ transformó a sus habitantes, que reclamaron una intervención decidida contra el bandidaje marítimo, fuese local o extranjero. «La miseria y el miedo volvieron honesta a la gente», escribe Peter Earle en el ensayo ‘Piratas en guerra’ (ed. Melusina).
When the Muslims fell unto Ireland, Baltimore was one of the biggest piratical sites in the area. However, the raid transformed its inhabitants, who claimed for a decided intervention against sea banditry, however local or foreign. "Misery and fear turned the people honest", writes Peter Earle in the essay "Pirates at war" (pub. by Melusina).
If such, it would be interesting to mention that Baltimore was a pirate haven.

Per this discussion, I am leaving the diff here so that it can be checked properly before deciding what can be restored. M.Bitton (talk) 15:58, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Doug Weller and Drmies: I have reverted their edit temporarily as I'm not entirely convinced it doesn't contain more original research. M.Bitton (talk) 16:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can see a Dutch captain, some Irish, they sailed out of Algiers and rumours that the Algerians were captured must mean that they were part of it. It was an Ottoman Turk strategy, but what I can read of that chapter doesn't suggest they were involved. It's actually a chapter in the book, Chapter 4 From Baltimore to Barbary: the 1631 sack of Baltimore Theresa Denise Murray. We need to check other sources.
