Interesting facts about pirates? - midwest.social

I saw an article about keelhauling and realized I don’t know much about pirates (those on the sea, not the internet) beyond what I’ve seen in movies. Tell me your most interesting pirate facts. Mythical or historical.

They explicitly said, not those kind of pirates

Oops, skimming fail. Lol

Feels like a question better suited for something like AskHistory. AskLemmy is usually about personal anecdotes, isn’t it?

I am personally familiar with that kind of pirate and I definitely appreciate what they do.

Maybe I should cross-post to AskHistory? I’m not looking for anything specific, really more hoping to learn some things while giving Lemmy users a chance to dump info they find interesting.
