In episode 18 of The Devil’s in the Details, Pedro Lima and Dan Parrella are joined by magician and filmmaker Darren Rockwell and Dan tells them all about the history of piracy on the high seas. He discusses how they come from all over, the Golden Age of Piracy in the 1600s, the differences between Buccaneers, Corsairs and Barbary pirates, the Letter of Marque, the difference between a black Jolly Roger and a red Jolly Roger, the different types of Jolly Roger flag designs, walking the plank, Captain Morgan, Captain Avery the Pirate King, Calico Jack, Captain Kidd and his buried treasure and the overly cultivated image and legend of Blackbeard.
