I want to see what it is

The Lafitte brothers are the only pirates i've heard of by name, and by far the most famous. Are there any other known pirates that were active in the area?

Ive been putting together a historically accurate pirate cosplay and need help finding a Cavalier style hat preferably made from felt. I live in the UK so I'm not too keen buying form abroad in case the hat doesn't fit which would be annoying sending back(especially considering postage). If anyone on here could please recommend any websites that have any period appropriate headwear that would be great, cheers🙂.

I have an itch for some adventure! Can anyone point some good gems my way :)

Hey everyone, been looking for this specific book covering pirate history I read from the library a while back, but I don't remember the name or the author. This what I remember about the book:

• Thin book, not too many pages, I think it was landscape format (width of the book was more than the length)
• Art book, the author filled it with his own art as illustrations. Full color, very realistic, striking art. I think the author was primarily an artist, and used the book to show off his work
• It covered the history of pirates, not just the golden age, but also had a section on vikings? or was it ancient brits? Don't remember lol
• I think the end had a section on black and white etchings by the author/illustrator
• I remember a few specific illustrations; I remember a card game inside a ship cabin with the night sea visible through the window; a wild party at some coastal town, at night; I think Captain Morgan going through port royal with his men?; and a few other vague images in my head

Sorry this isn't much to go on, I read it when I was maybe 15, but if anyone know what it is that would be great, I remember really enjoying it. Thank you!

I recently stumbled upon a post here where someone asked for the best places in the Caribbean to go to for nice museums that have pirate related exhebitions.

Now I'm having the same question but for the whole world. Where are museums that have good pirate exebitions? (Real left overs of shipwrecks or buildings would be also very cool, but I figure they are rather scarce^^)

Hi, all! I am currently writing a pirate fantasy, and I am conducting research; I am shocked to see at how little we really seem to know about this time. I've been searching for YouTube videos, and I am just trying to get any extra information! I'm a huge fan of Black Sails, and that's helped a bit (I know it isn't accurate, but it gives me a visual to go off of. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it).

Are there any interesting facts you can share with me about pirates? I have a general understanding of the positions on the ship (I'd love more information if you'd like to share it), but I guess I am trying to understand what they did/did not have during this time period, more about their day-to-day life, battles, etc. Anything helps! Thank you so much!
