There must have been much overseas trade by Gondor (with whom I can't speculate) in order for a powerful people like the Corsairs of Umbar to pirate from.

Yep, Dorwinion is quite interesting place by the way, though I wonder whether by the time of the War of the Ring it wasn't either ruled by the Easterlings, or directly taken from them by Bardings. But I was referring to the major trade routes, this was probably just a very small one. Anyway, we are getting off topic... but the question of Umbar is actually interesting, it would maybe do for its own thread.
