The sentence is incomplete because it lacks a complete predicate.
Explanation: "The pirate" (with the relative clause "who sailed his ship in the Atlantic Ocean") supplies the subject, and "pilfering..." is a participial phrase, not a finite main verb. There is no main verb/predicate to complete the sentence (e.g., "The pirate pilfered..." or "The pirate was pilfering...").
