Who be ye favorite pirate? In real life and in the movies?

What is it about pirates?

In general, they are a dirty, smelly, muderous bunch of thieves, but yet we find them most appealing. Pehaps it is the Hollywood treatment that has made them so dear to our hearts. I have no doubt that if we were to happen upon the real Blackbeard, we might not be so willing to accept his faults and share a glass of mead with him.

Real life...

1. Edward Lowe, London [Born: Late 1600s; Died: 1723 or 1724]

2. Thomas Tew, Northamptonshire, England [Born: ?; Died: 1695]
1723 1724 2 thomas tew northamptonshire england born died 1695

3. Calico Jack, London [Born: 1682 Died: 1720]
died 1695 3 calico jack london born 1682 died 1720

4. Blackbeard, Bristol, England [Born: 1680; Died: 1718]
died 1720 4 blackbeard bristol england born 1680 died 1718

5. Bartholomew Roberts, Pembrokeshire, Wales [Born: 1682; Died: 1722]
1718 5 bartholomew roberts pembrokeshire wales born 1682 died 1722

In the movies...

Geoffrey Rush as Captain Barbossa

Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow

Geena Davis as Morgan Adams

Errol Flynn

James Purfoy as Blackbeard

My favorite pirates are those who make books and software available and affordable in our country—a country half a globe away from the United States of America (los Estados Unidos de América).

I've never heard of Sharp, had to look him up. He had a rather short career.

And I like Mary Read too! She had an interesting life!

And you're my favorite private...
