[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":4},["ShallowReactive",2],{"event-plain-sack-of-baltimore":3},"On June 19, 1631, the coastal town of Baltimore, County Cork, Ireland, was brutally attacked by Barbary pirates led by Captain Matthew Rice, a Dutch renegade. The raid, often referred to as the 'Great Pirate Raid', resulted in the killing of 47 inhabitants and the capture of 107 men, women, and children who were subsequently taken into slavery in North Africa. This devastating event highlighted the vulnerability of Ireland's coastal communities to such attacks and left a lasting scar on the region. The incident remains a significant, albeit tragic, part of Irish maritime history.",1789333836865]
