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.

    Or, as I’ve heard it, moving above and below decks regularly.

      Yeah it’s nothing to do with caves. It’s because below decks there were powder magazine rooms that you wouldn’t want to carry a flame into.
