Pirate by Richard Platt (2000, Hardcover, Illustrated)
As a retired USN Chief Petty Officer I enjoy all the stories and history of the high seas. Over a 20 year career I have played the part in many foreign lands. I have been called a pirate many times and play one for Halloween. Definitely a fun time had by all.
