How did pirates in the Golden Age of Piracy deal with Hurricanes? Was that a major concern for pirates at the time?

by Tonric

Pirate ships and sails seem fairly resilient to hurricanes and hurricane power storms in Pirates of the Caribbean or Assassin's Creed 4, but I imagine that real cloth sails in a hurricane would get more wrecked than that. Especially when you think about the devastation that modern hurricanes have caused.
