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.

    Pirates kind of had a workers compensation program as I’ve been told.

    Loss of certain body parts was payable with the amount varying by which part was affected.
