Pirate ships were rowdy, boisterous vessels full of drunken rouges. Some of the most interesting and unusual Mythbusters that were mentioned in the reading talked about pirate treasures. But not all plunder consisted of gold and silver but instead cotton, tools, spare sails, and often tobacco. Pirate crews really did wear scarves across their heads and mostly were heavily armed with many guns and sharp cutlasses. I used to belive that pirate crews buried their treasure deep underground from location to location in order to hide their stolen goods from other crews but to my knowledge, instead, crews obtain loot, trade and barter the goods for better supplies to improve their ship. I found it interesting that common pirate punishments are much more crewel than the stereotypical ''walking the plank'' but instead were much more gruesome and included nails rough beatings dismemberment and in some cases cannibalism.
