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.

    And at least in most of the nations’ navies, your life as a grunt was pretty much like that. Dragged into service by press gangs and treated like shit.
