There are so many historical fun facts related to this and the best part is that it's usually things you'd never even think to look up because there is no way it could be based on reality. A short list of examples: - Pirate civil unions called Matelotage were real (from what we can tell some were just platonic/economic, some not) - blackbeard's "heart-break flag" - he did maroon stede's crew when they had ca falling out - blackbeard personally was not known to kill - stede was one of very few pirates that actually made people walk the plank - he did pay his crew, had a library and was lounging around on deck in a robe either on blackbeard's ship or when blackbeard "took over" the revenge
