You`ve probably heard of a few • Horrible Henry Morgan and his flaming fire ships • Awful Anne Bonny and her flaming temper • Barmy Blackbeard and his - er - flaming black beard. But have you heard that: • Henry Morgan ate his own shoes? • Anne Bonny scared strong men shirtless? • Blackbeard guzzled his rum with a dash of dynamite? Now you can get the inside story from pirates` long-lost log-books, read the terrible truth about real pirate life and find out all about the biggest, baddest buccaneers who ever sailed the bounding main!
It is 1837, and for the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain and his rag-tag pirate crew, life on the high seas has gotten a little dull. With nothing to do but twiddle their hooks and lounge aimlessly on tropical beaches, the Captain decides it`s time they had an adventure. A surprisingly successful boat raid leads them to the young Charles Darwin, in desperate need of their help. And so the pirates set forth for London in a bid to save the scientist from the evil machinations of a diabolical Bishop. There they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, the Elephant Man - and have an exciting trip to the zoo.
