Pirates never played accordions
🏴‍☠️🚫🪗

(Because they hadn’t been invented yet)

Accordions were invented during the 1800s Industrial Revolution at the same time as the telegraph, steam engine and the typewriter

100 years after the Golden Age of Piracy 1600s–1700s

So every pirate movie with an accordionist is a science fiction movie with a time-travel sub plot 🚀⌛️

They gave Spencer Tracy a Hurdy Gurdy in Captains Courageous

Which is funny, because Kipling features an #accordion in the book, set contemporaneous to its 1897 publication

We can guess the era because the rich kid’s dad is a railway magnate and steams over to pick him up
