Long John Silver (TV-1955) SHIP OF THE DEAD - Robert Newton 

Robert Newton by far the best long john.....

Rrrrrrrr. Shiver me timbers.. Wish I were a kid again. Give me back my years .

Robert Newton came from Dorset in the UK. He based the voice of Long John Silver on the accent of that area. It suited the part of a pirate so well that since then it became the "standard" pirate accent in many films that followed.

best pirate ever...watched TV series in late 540's and early 60's

I remember seeing this show back in the day. Robert Newton was so cool!
