Go past peg legs and treasure myths to examine what pirates were really like, through underwater archaeology, archival research, and the wreck of The Speaker, lost in 1702. From shipboard rules and trade routes to a fortified refuge on St. Mary's Island, this documentary turns a familiar legend into a sharper, richer history worth uncovering.
