Replica pirate flags are popular, as are pirate apparel such as coats, pirate hats and general ‘pirate type’ clothing that is based upon real clothing known to be worn by pirates of the period. All of these reproduction articles are great for holding ‘pirate evenings’ on the beach or barbecues. You can even purchase replica guns of the types described above. These are true replicas based upon actual weapons belonging to known pirates.
Famous pirates include Henry Morgan, known to have shackled a woman to a stove and roasted her for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of her jewelry, and L’Ollonaise was another, whose favorite pastime was tying a cord round a victim’s head across the eyes, and tightening it until the eyes popped out. Pirates were not the swashbuckling heroes of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, though one punishment that is myth is ‘walking the plank’. This is a practice invented by novelists and there are no known records of this happening. You will not find planks among the pirate collectibles available online!
For all other pirate type clothing, weapons and articles, visit Historical Weapons Store, the premier location for any swashbuckling hero!
