PIRATES...Did you Know?
Pirates actually did have eye patches.
One of the reasons given was that pirates
wore patches to keep one eye adjusted to
night vision for seeing below deck.
Also, because they just look cool.
Pirates did not always bury their treasures.
They often needed money to spend
their loot on grog, food, and whatever
else it was that pirates liked.
Blackbeard (real name Edward Teach) was one of the most
feared pirates of all. Before boarding a ship, he would weave
hemp through his beard and light it on fire to intimidate his
enemies. Yeah. That’ll do it.
