That‘s the reason for elderly French pirate. The people involved didn’t just disappear because privateering ended.

Some say there are pirates to this very day, and that they sail a sea that holds no water

There are pirates right now, and they are sailing on water.
They just don’t , you know, dress up like old timey pirates.

I don’t think a pirate being as young as 12 would have been impossible, so they could be in their 50s too.
