If so then it is rather curious that they would employ the same set of pictograph components, ie the heart and the spear. It sounds like there were a few brutal asian pirates, perhaps another list is in order? Southpark recently made a new episode called 'Fatbeard' where cartman travels to somalia to become a pirate.

Part of the island is limestone and can be dug for fresh water.Blackbeard dug a small tunnel to hold his cache. Years later, the Quakers extended the tiny tunnel and hid run-aways until they were taken north for safety. Hemp was marijuana. Blackbeard was pretty well stoned when he took a ship and never hurt anyone or burned any ship unless they were out to kill him.Because he was captain, he married each woman before he bedded her.His marriage to Mary Ormond is iffy.Davy Jones owned a tavern and put drunken pirates in his locker and threw them into the sea.
