Pirate Captains

Pirates... Who isn't instantly captivated by that word? The imagination brings to mind one eye squints and a hearty "Arrrg!" Hoist your pirate flags and get ready to indulge! And, when you're not sailing the oceans with your band of affable pirates, or dancing a pirate's jig, adorn yourself in your best vest decked with "gold" buttons. Add a shirt with ruffle collar, pants with a standard pirate belt and high-calf leather boots. Did Pirates actually keep parrots as pets? Truthfully, no one knows! We do know the more exotic the animal, the more in demand and the more valuable it would be. A talking bird would fetch quite a few doubloons!
