Answer 1

A shroud on a sailing vessel is a line or wire or rod that helps to support the mast from side to side on the boat. The lines or wires that run fore and aft are the stays. On a 'classic' pirate ship or 'tall ship',
there are dozens of shrouds. As to the parts of a shroud...????
There might be blocks or thimbles or eyes or other fittings spliced or otherwise attached to the ends of the lines. wires or rods.

Answer 2

It depends on the ship in question. Pirates would use any ship that they could get their hands on from sloops and cutters to square rigs. Most however used the square rigged versions and to see all the parts of a ship like this, look up Sir Francis Drake or HMS Victory. There are still a lot of pirates about today in the caribean and asian waters, although these days they tend to use motor boats to attack large ships (for the money kept by the captain for crew wages) or small sailing yachts. Oh and they don't tend to have skull and cross bone flags or eye patches any more!
