Frequently Asked Questions About Pirates
Did pirates really say “arrrr”?
The iconic pirate utterance “arrrr” is more a product of Hollywood than historical accuracy. While it’s possible that some pirates may have had an accent or dialect that sounded similar, this expression was popularized by the 1950 Disney film “Treasure Island” and actor Robert Newton, who portrayed Long John Silver. It’s since become an endearing stereotype associated with pirates in popular culture.
Did pirates really have peg legs?
Peg legs are often associated with pirate imagery, thanks in part to fictional characters like Peter Pan’s Captain Hook. In reality, pirates who lost limbs in battle or due to disease were sometimes fitted with wooden prostheses, including peg legs. However, the prevalence of peg-legged pirates is likely exaggerated in folklore.
Did pirates really bury treasure?
The concept of pirates burying their treasure is deeply rooted in pirate legend, particularly with tales of William Kidd, who allegedly buried loot on Long Island. While there may be isolated cases, most pirates likely spent their spoils or traded them rather than hiding them away. The idea of buried pirate treasure has been immensely popularized by stories like Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.”
