The Man with the Silver Oar por Robin Moore

In "The Man with the Silver Oar", a Quaker boy named Daniel, opposing his family's wishes, stows away on a ship to hunt pirates. His family believes he is doing a week-long project at the saw pits. When the captain of the ship noticed Daniel, he accepted him to work waterproofing the boat. The crew is searching for the renowned pirate Scarfield. They go to the Barbadoes and find the pirate. Daniel realizes Scarfield is actually his pious, well known, Quaker uncle. The Uncle is killed and Daniel inherits his uncle's ship.
