You've probably heard of a few pirates.
* Horrible Henry Morgan and his flaming fire ships
* Awful Anne Bonny and her flaming temper
* Barmy Blackbeard and his - er - flaming black beard.
But have you heard that:
* Henry Morgan ate his own shoes?
* Anne Bonny scared strong men shirtless?
* Blackbeard guzzled his rum with a dash of dynamite?
Now you can get the inside story from pirates' long-lost
log-books, read the terrible truth about real pirate life and find
out all about the biggest, baddest buccaneers who ever sailed the
bounding main!
