Was this still the Golden Age of Piracy?

Was the period of the East Indiamen still considered the Golden Age of Piracy?

The classic Golden Age was earlier; this period saw more wartime privateering and local piracy, especially in Asian waters.

Famous Atlantic pirate culture belongs mostly to an earlier period than the nineteenth-century East India trade. A heavily armed East Indiaman was an unattractive target for most local raiders. Smaller country ships and regional traders were more exposed, while European privateers operated under wartime legal authority rather than as pirates. The distinction explains why letters of marque and convoy firepower remained important after the better-known Golden Age had passed.
