Did You Know?

  • Pirates who visited tropical locations did often come back with parrots. Parrots don’t eat much and provided entertainment for bored sailors!
  • While female pirates weren’t exactly common, they did exist! The best-known female pirates were Ann Bonny, Mary Read, Rachel Wall and Ching Shih (also known as Cheng I Sao).
  • There are only two verified accounts of pirates burying treasure. Most pirates spent their loot as soon as they could!
  • Pirates didn’t sing sea chanteys! The Golden Age of Piracy spanned the years of 1680-1720 but chanteys were not commonly used until the 1820s!
