While listed as Fiction by the Library of Congress, the book indeed contains quite a few facts on Piracy. And it has the wonderful illustrations of Howard Pyle. A must have!

Fiction
Actually it was written around 1747! One of the earliest, if not the earliest Nautical novel around. It is a story of young man who ships off as a surgeon in the War of Jacob's Ear. Even in 1747, people called sailors "swabs" and "lubbers"

Yes that Captain Blood! If you have seen the movie and not read the book, then it is time to get literate.
