Mercantile activity is a broad arena. Arguably it covers everything from the Opium Wars to Firefly to adventure in the Caribbean. Spain called them pirates (sometimes smugglers) IIRC the French, English and Dutch called their own citizens merchants...

A run of solely mercantile pursuits would likely be dull, but commerce can take you to the strangest places.
