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.

Have you watched Black Sails? It’s the most historically accurate pirate thing Hollywood has ever made (the second being the POTC movies, funnily enough)
I have not. Is it worth watching?
Yes, the way the show handled the main plot is chef’s kiss and the series finale is fantastic
pirates usually wear eye patches so one of their eyes are used to the dark while the other is used to the light.
they switch patches to easily get accustomed to caves.
Or, as I’ve heard it, moving above and below decks regularly.
