The character of the pirate is more vibrant and rich with colour than anybody else in any historical period. The image of a pirate combines the warm romanticism of swashbuckling and bounty hunting with the absurdity of wooden legs and parrots on shoulders. It's wonderful.
I've always found pirates - both factual and fictional - to be quite fascinating when confronted with the subject. To that end, I'm using it as a basis for the novel that I've been pestered to write for nearly ten years now.
As the internet is a great research tool, I've stumbled upon this place and, I must say, I like the cut of your jib.
