  2. Charles Gray in PIRATES OF THE EASTERN SEAS discusses this, and mentions several cases where convicted pirates were branded with a "P"

  3. not particularly GAoP but according to article there be a certain spot along California, Pirate Cove, what was once used heavy by 'smugglers', a type o' pirate ye know.

    Now the residence o' this area, according t' article, did not fear th' pirates what did much rum smuggling 'n other ill deeds in Pirate Cove but instead "protected the pirates and even assisted in efforts"!

    Wow, it must be tough t' be a west coast pirate when ye ha'e t' come ashore in hopes t' unload yer booty but instead o' ha'en t' fight off Spaniards ye find yerself be'n mobbed by a naked female volleyball team o' Valley Girls!!!
