Why did so many pirates have colorful nicknames like "Blackbeard" and "Half Bottom"? The main reason was to prevent government officials from identifying and persecuting their relatives back home. (How did "Half Bottom" get his nickname? A cannonball shot half his bottom off.)
Today's question:
What are the real names of these pirates:
Blackbeard
Half Bottom
Calico Jack
Black Bart
The Gentleman Pirate
The Buccaneer
Good luck with ye!
