When I was a little kid, having been familiarized with both Cyril ritchard and Dustin Hoffman’s versions of captain hook, I was always under the impression that captains of pirate ships were these regal well dressed men…. The reality most likely is they were anything but.
Blokewood3 yes your right Jean Laffite had a very successful enterprise and owned two homes among other things. Sir Henry Morgan became governed of Jamaica. Those pirates were very resourceful intelligent men and no doubt wore the nicest suits. I had forgotten about that when writing my original comment i guess.
