Pirates

Pirates have a reputation for being ruthless bloodthirsty killers and they certainly did get&nbsp;creative with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ways-pirates-killed-people/nathan-gibson " target="_blank">the ways they offed&nbsp;people</a>. Although some traditions may only be <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historically-inaccurate-pirate-tropes/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">fictional tropes</a>, pirates did developed some strange habits that made them infamous, like&nbsp;wearing earrings and eye patches. Just like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-viking-rituals/lyra-radford" target="_blank">the Vikings created odd&nbsp;rituals</a>, pirates used codes to govern their lives&nbsp;on the high sea.

The pirate code was an&nbsp;agreement that marauders&nbsp;made with each other to establish a sort of law among the lawless.&nbsp;It ensured&nbsp;a certain amount of honor,&nbsp;like they&nbsp;<a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/58900/11-rules-actual-pirate-code" target="_blank">could only fight their sailing mates on land</a>. The informal pirate code also dictated pirate attire.

Pirate&nbsp;traditions include&nbsp;myths about a single item that could protect men from drowning, the best reason to wear&nbsp;an eye patch, and the secret behind Blackbeard&rsquo;s greatest trick. Keep reading to learn more about their bizarre ways of life.

World History

From the Age of Sail to the end of the Colonial Era, pirates were a force&nbsp;to be reckoned with on the high seas. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/notable-pirate_s)/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most famous pirates</a> came from every corner of the globe, but they all carried a greed and ambition that propelled them into the history books. But success breeds resentment, and when it comes to pirates, that usually means a mutiny or a fight to the end. Many pirates were sure to change allegiances many times over the course of their careers -&nbsp;unless, of course, they were the captain and earned enough respect to plunder until they could retire comfortably.

Of course, few pirates passed peacefully in their old age. Most were either slain by their own kind, taken down by the authorities, or claimed by an angry sea. The most deadly and ruthless of them still live on in infamy to this day, so if you&rsquo;re curious to know who they are, check out this list of the deadliest pirates in history.

History

When you hear the name &quot;Captain Morgan,&quot; images of bros posing with a handle&nbsp;of spiced rum with one foot danging precariously in the air probably come to mind. While there were plenty of pirates whose reputations were built on boozin' it up with bar wenches &agrave; la modern rum-guzzling&nbsp;frat bros, the real Captain Morgan is not one of them.&nbsp;Sir Henry Morgan doesn't sound like the name <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/deadliest-pirates-in-history/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">one of the most terrifying pirates</a> in the Caribbean - but the ruthless Captain Henry&nbsp;Morgan propelled himself to fame and riches by terrorizing his enemies and seizing a fortune in gold from the Spanish.&nbsp;The history of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/surprising-pirate-traditions/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">piracy is full of surprises</a>, and these Henry Morgan facts are no exception.&nbsp;Morgan was the son of a Welsh farmer, but he wasn't destined for a life on the farm. Instead, Captain&nbsp;Morgan crossed the Atlantic and became the most famous privateer of the 1600s. He became the leader of a powerful group of pirates called the Brethren of the Coast.&nbsp;He led an army of pirates against the Spanish, eventually capturing the second largest city&nbsp;in the Western Hemisphere. And Captain Morgan didn't waste (all) his gold on booze and wenches - he used his money to buy up huge amounts of land in Jamaica.Once he became rich,&nbsp;Captain Morgan retired from piracy to become the Governor of Jamaica.&nbsp;After years of terrorizing the Spanish, Captain Morgan became a pirate hero and one of England's most famous men. And he did it all by looting and pillaging.Was Captain Morgan real? Definitely. And his buccaneering&nbsp;earns him a spot on the list of history's greatest pirates and an&nbsp;unlicensed mascot deal for one&nbsp;of college freshmen's choice liquors.

A list of real-life historical pirates. When the word pirate is mentioned, images of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow instantly come to mind. Real pirates, however, were (and are) a lot more intimidating. These marauders and swashbucklers have roamed the seas for hundreds of years, raining terror and mayhem down on poor unsuspecting souls. These are the most successful and/or terrifying pirates to ever sail the ocean blue.Who is the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-the-female-pirate-ching-shih/carly-silver?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most successful pirate</a>? This list of real life pirates will befuddle, maybe even bewilder you, knowing that these men of the high seas actually pulled off heists worthy of the movies.&nbsp;

Pirate ships were dirty - there&#39;s no way around it. The life of a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/surprising-pirate-traditions/genevieve-carlton" target="_blank">pirate </a>was fraught with danger and disease, but the pirates themselves did find ways to clean themselves and their surroundings - at times.&nbsp;

Maintaining hygienic practices on a pirate ship was an uphill battle. Lack of access to clean water, combined with confined living spaces, led to the rapid spread of disease.&nbsp;Harsh elements and inadequate nutrition further contributed to generally poor health. Baths, laundry, and oral hygiene were at a minimum, even with a somewhat surprising amount of medical resources.&nbsp;

Life on a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/deadliest-pirates-in-history/aaron-edwards" target="_blank">pirate ship</a> wasn&#39;t for the faint of heart - or for those with a sharp sense of smell. Here are some of the gritty details of what life was like on a pirate ship.&nbsp;

While many people might cite &quot;Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)&quot; as one of their favorite pirate songs, you may be surprised to learn that as seaworthy as the song is, it was never actually <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-successful-real-life-pirates/nicoleireland">sung by pirates</a>. The song was written for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland (though&nbsp;it should be noted that parts of the song are based on a fictional sea song from&nbsp;the book Treasure Island).Traditional sailor's songs were often more like ballads&nbsp;and told a story, such as the song “The Ballad of Captain Kidd,” which recounts the twists and turns in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/ways-pirates-killed-people/nathan-gibson">famous pirate</a> William Kidd’s life. Other songs were work songs, or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-sea-shanties-songs/ranker-music">sea shanties</a>, which were sung by the sailors as they performed various ship tasks like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-whaling/philgibbons">hauling ropes or cleaning the deck</a>. These songs were sung in sync with their movements and helped to set a pace and alleviate some of the boredom that came from performing these monotonous tasks day after day.&nbsp;Get ready to weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen, because it's time to set sail and sing out.

Interesting

Contrary to popular belief, not all pirates hobbled on peg-legs with talking parrots perched on their shoulders, patches covering their&nbsp;eyes, and broad West Country accents sharpening&nbsp;their vowels. One of the most important, fascinating, and relatively forgotten&nbsp;pirates was actually a woman, known to history as the so-called &quot;Pirate Queen.&quot;There have been other lady pirates in history, but perhaps none as significant as&nbsp;Gr&aacute;inne&nbsp;N&iacute; Mh&aacute;ille,&nbsp;better known by the Anglicized version of her Irish name, Grace O'Malley. She&nbsp;was born in western Ireland around 1530. Though brought up in a life of relative privilege and wealth, she also faced limitations on her ambitions. The Ireland of her birth was one of eroding independence, as England sought to exert more and more influence over the island to its west. Though all pirates are political to some extent, O'Malley was especially so: the politics of Ireland and Tudor England became tangled up in her business. Today she is even remembered as a rebel and symbol of Irish resistance and independence in the face of English colonization.By the time of her death in around 1603, she had become one of the most significant and powerful women in all of Ireland. This female pirate was chieftain of her clan, captain of her ships, and badass extraordinaire. She wasn't just history's most important woman pirate; she was also a mother, wife, lover, political actor, business manager, and folk hero at various points in her long and colorful life.

Who was Francois L&#39;Olonnais, you ask? Only the most ruthless and&nbsp;feared pirate&nbsp;to ever sail under the black flag. And given the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/deadliest-pirates-in-history/aaron-edwards">overall&nbsp;brutality suffered during the Golden Age of Piracy</a>, that is one hell of a claim. Born in France and sold into indentured servitude in the mid 17th century, his early sufferings led to a penchant for murder and thievery that quickly propelled him to the top of the criminal food chain.&nbsp;

Over time, he evolved into the bane of the Caribbean, not to mention one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/ways-pirates-killed-people/nathan-gibson?">most deadly pirates</a>&nbsp;to ever sail the sea. He was&nbsp;a badass marauder who dominated age-old seafaring stories not because he was clever or sadistic or fearless or dashing, but because he was all of those things at once while still managing to pull in more booty than almost any other privateer&nbsp;in history. Nicknamed the &quot;Flail of Spain&quot; for the wild reactions of fear he provoked in others, his life as an adventurer bent on treasure, destruction, and revenge left a bloody scar on seafaring history and created a legend like no other. Badass stories about one of the most violent pirates in the world&nbsp;will leave you shivering in your boots.&nbsp;

Ahoy mate!&nbsp;This common pirate phrase may mean more than you realize!

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/surprising-pirate-traditions/genevieve-carlton?ref=browse_list_5&amp;l=2&amp;pos=8" target="_blank">Pirates are known for</a> eye patches, walking the plank, and collecting booty, but there are&nbsp;more pirate traditions than you might be aware of, like the fact that&nbsp;same-sex relationships were quite common among the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/orlando-bloom-career-history/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">pirates of the Caribbean</a>. Matelotage was a gay marriage of sorts practiced by&nbsp;male&nbsp;pirates from the 17th century. Some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-successful-real-life-pirates/nicoleireland?ref=collections&amp;l=2630264&amp;collectionId=1791" target="_blank">most successful pirates</a> had relationships with other men as a means of companionship and protection. Having a mate was both a&nbsp;personal and professional arrangement for a pirate - and the word &#39;mate&#39;&nbsp;itself is probably a holdover from the institution of matelotage.&nbsp;

It may have&nbsp;disappeared for a while, but Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is once again on <a href="https://disneyplus.bn5x.net/c/1217251/707629/9358?subid1=2816474&amp;subid2=pirates%20of%20the%20caribbean%20on%20stranger%20tides&amp;subid3=[RNKRXXX]-[RNKRCMPGN]&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fmovies%2Fpirates-of-the-caribbean-on-stranger-tides%2F7YTeDDWXPUGm" target="_blank">Disney+</a>, bringing&nbsp;all the Pirates&nbsp;films together at last. The first installment of&nbsp;Pirates of the Caribbean&nbsp;hit the big screen in 2003, and since then, the franchise has produced five feature-length films. These <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-pirates-of-the-caribbean-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">movies</a> have loads of behind-the-scenes tales&nbsp;and&nbsp;interpersonal antics that - to quote William Turner - straddle a fine line between madness and brilliance.&nbsp;

As one of the highest-grossing films&nbsp;of all time&nbsp;- earning $4.5 billion worldwide -&nbsp;Pirates&nbsp;has become a pop-culture institution to rival&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;or&nbsp;Indiana Jones. The five-part movie series is so beloved that Disneyland even incorporated animatronics of Jack Sparrow, Captain Barbossa, and Davy Jones into the eponymous boat ride that inspired the series. Here are some behind-the-scenes stories from the Pirates of the Caribbean films.

Debunking

&quot;AAARRRRRHHHH, watch out for my peg leg, matey, and keep your hands off my parrot, or I&#39;ll make you walk the plank, AAARRRRRHHHH!&quot; Pirate tropes pop up all over pop culture, from billion-dollar movie franchises like&nbsp;Pirates of the Caribbean&nbsp;to TV shows and video games. But the most familiar pirate archetypes aren&#39;t exactly historically accurate. And, if you think about it, many pirate tropes are downright idiotic. Why would <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/whoa-pirate-facts/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">real pirates</a> make maps that led directly to their treasure? Or constantly fly the skull and crossbones, announcing to every ship that they&#39;re criminals?

The historical inaccuracies in&nbsp;Pirates of the Caribbean&nbsp;could fill an entire list. No, pirates weren&#39;t constantly in mutiny against their captains or running from ghost ships. But a lot of pirate tropes make for exciting plots -&nbsp;historically accurate pirate movies would have to feature guys named&nbsp;Moses Butterworth&nbsp;(an actual 18th-century pirate) who visited their wives on the weekend and peacefully voted for their pirate captains.&nbsp;

Pirates have often been seen as <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/weird-viking-rituals/lyra-radford" target="_blank">bloodthirsty and vicious villains</a> who commit evil acts of aggression without a second thought in order to secure treasure or evade justice. This perception can make people wonder&nbsp;about the grisly ways pirates killed people. However, just like with many portrayals of them on screen and in books, the truth is actually something quite different. In the same way that they didn&rsquo;t walk around with parrots or speak in that infamous accent, the vast majority of pirates tried to avoid conflict&nbsp;whenever possible.

This makes sense when you think about it. After all, if every pirate engagement ended with the crew meeting a gruesome end, it would cause sailors to make life as difficult as possible for the invaders. They would likely fight valiantly rather than submit easily, something pirates wanted to happen so they could make a quick getaway.

That did not stop some of the swashbucklers from committing some terrible deeds. How did pirates kill people? Sometimes they had to torture&nbsp;a person to find out information, end captives to keep them from escaping, or even make an example of a fellow pirate who had turned against his crew. Whatever the case, pirates had some fairly ingenious and gruesome ways of taking out their enemies that will make your skin crawl.

Ahoy, matey!&nbsp;We're ranking the greatest characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. From&nbsp;The Curse of the Black Pearl&nbsp;to&nbsp;Dead Men Tell No Tales, the best Pirates of the Caribbean series characters are also known to be some of the&nbsp;best movie characters of all time.&nbsp;Who is the best Pirates of the Caribbean character?Featuring Elizabeth Swann&nbsp;(Keira Knightley), Captain Barbossa&nbsp;(Geoffrey Rush), Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), and of course, Captain Jack Sparrow himself (Johnny Depp), this list of Pirates of the Caribbean movie characters includes memorable villains, funny sidekicks, and famous cameos.Vote up the best characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Chinese People

The high seas weren&#39;t just ruled by male rogues; in fact, there were always plenty of female pirates who reigned supreme in oceans around the world. So, who were the most notorious sea queens&nbsp;of history? One of the baddest was&nbsp;certainly&nbsp;Ching Shih, AKA <a href="https://daily.jstor.org/cheng-i-sao-female-pirate/" target="_blank">Cheng I Sao</a>,&nbsp;one of the most successful&nbsp;women pirates to ever pirate.

One of the fiercest pirates from China to ever set sail, Ching Shih began life as a sex worker and negotiated her own marriage to a pirate king. After his passing, she ruled over 70,000 sailors, creating a ruthless band of aquatic warriors.&nbsp;

Read on for some fascinating facts about Ching Shih, queen of the Chinese pirates.

Pirates are a part of history that almost doesn&#39;t seem real. They, along with Vikings, and other spectacularly costumed seafaring explorers and raiders, occupy a space in our brains somewhere between reality&nbsp;and the mythical, larger-than-life&nbsp;legend. We know they existed, but something about the magnitude of it all makes it seem as though it were fictional all the same.

Defining a pirate can be a tricky thing. One nation&#39;s pirate&nbsp;can be another nation&#39;s naval hero. Then throw privateers into the mix -&nbsp;a form of legalized piracy&nbsp;recognized as legit by the nation issuing the license but considered piratical acts by those being raided -&nbsp;and the whole matter becomes muddy.&nbsp;To simplify the matter, any seafarer raiding a ship for their personal gain will be considered a pirate.

Tracking down the graves of such individuals&nbsp;is another matter entirely, for many captains have gone down with the ships, while&nbsp;many possible pirate graves only bear a skull and crossbones as their evidence.&nbsp;

These issues aside, here&nbsp;are what some real pirate graves&nbsp;actually look like.

When Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl came out, nobody realized it would launch a powerhouse franchise that would become a household name. Like many long-running series, there&nbsp;are recurring themes in every Pirates of the Caribbean movie if you know where to look. After several films and more than 10 years of adventures, it's hard not to notice how the movies rely on the same tropes in regards to their characters, action, and stories. From Jack Sparrow's affected mannerisms to William Turner always putting love above all else, there are many things that happen in every Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Seriously, you can pretty much&nbsp;set your watch to them.You've probably subconsciously&nbsp;noticed these repeated motifs across the films, but they've likely never really registered as you watched. These tropes will let you know what to look out for in the future adventures of Jack Sparrow.

Best Video Games

Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure as we rank the best pirate games of all time. Whether you&#39;re tasked with searching for hidden treasure, commanding a small naval army, or are simply sailing the seven seas, these games&nbsp;are often a blast to play. Some games, like Sid Meier&#39;s Pirates! and&nbsp;<a href="/list/assassin_s-creed-games/video-game-info" target="_blank">Assassin&#39;s Creed</a> IV: Black Flag, are loosely based on historical figures and events, while others simply take the pirate theme and sail with it.&nbsp;

It&#39;s no surprise games&nbsp;about pirates have been so popular &mdash; looting enemy ships, plundering for gold, and conquering the high seas are the things that great games are made of. And while the pirate theme has been a <a href="/list/best-pirate-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">mainstay in pop&nbsp;culture</a>, more and more games have started taking it to&nbsp;a new level.&nbsp;
