Pirates

Pirates are seafaring villains who seek out treasure, and sometimes kill people to get it. There have been many real pirates such as Captain William Kidd, Edward Teach alias Blackbeard, and Stede Bonnet. The best known fictional pirates include Long John Silver from Treasure Island, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, and the title characters of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance. Every year, 19 September is observed as Talk like a Pirate Day.
