Please can someone name me a courageous pirate?

[worriedsick100]

Desperate times - a friend only has a pirate costume for tomorrow and we are trying to come up with a courageous pirate to qualify for world book day. Thanks so much.

Captain Pugwash ?

The Dread Pirate Roberts

Captain Flynn (from Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs)

Jack Sparrow?

Umm....unless he was never in any books in which case ignore me...!

The Pirates Next Door?

Jack sparrow is quite a specific look so was going to give him a wide berth.

Were there any brave pirates in treasure island or were they all villains ( I am immediately discounting long john silver and jim hawkins)?

without knowing the stories of these books were any of them brave?

The pirates in Pirates Next Door are very cool.

Do they need to have been brave?

How old is the child?
Dread Pirate Roberts is from the book 'The Princess Bride'
There are The Night Pirates.
There's One eyed Jake by Pat Hutchins
All the pirates in Treasure Island.

Edward Teach (Blackbeard) & most privateers !?! :)

Villains can be brave too. Real life pirates are all villains.

Bartholomew Roberts was both successful and well-liked by his crew.

They character needs to have shown courage. The child is 6. I suspect lots of pirates were just baddies and not necessary courageous. I think you just need to quote the name of book if asked who you are.

Missee Lee en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missee_Lee see last paragraph

The Man whose Mother was a Pirate by Margaret Mahy

I love that book CMOT. The language alone makes it fabulous literature.

Captain Buckleboots?

He was brave enough to say he was sorry and help put his naughtiness right?

Captain Flynn of course! He courageously takes on those dreaded pirate dinosaurs every time :)

Too late I suppose but Molly in Pirate Girl!
