This book will probably make you want to run away to land! Real pirates were a thousand times wickeder and weirder than any storybook swashbuckler! They scared seafarers shirtless from the Bahamas to Brazil and from Carolina to China. And, between 1500 and 1730, the Caribbean Sea was positively seething with them! If you want to find out why Horrible Henry Morgan and his thousand strong pirate posse ate their own shoes, where William Dampier had a two foot long worm dangling from, why Captain Kidd had to be hanged twice, then covered all over in tar, who bit off Sadie the Goat's ear, how many times Blackbeard had to be shot and sliced before he would die, and why it was important for pirates to keep their bottoms clean, plus boatloads more fiercesome facts, stories of seagoing shenanigans and murderous maritime memoirs, this book is for you!
