According to a story in Tradewinds-
John and Barbara Jeffrey were with a group socialising on deck late at night when they first spotted a small boat following their liner, then looked on in horror as a pirate attached a rope to a lower deck and began shinning up it. The holidaymakers threw everything they could at the man and he finally fell into the sea when a German hit him with a flying deckchair.
We certainly don't advocate the use of furniture as a means of thwarting pirate attacks. In fact, the U.S. Maritime Administration offers a good helping of best practices that ships should use when sailing through pirate infested waters. In the meantime, keep calm and carry on!
