What are some accurate and reliable pirate history books im a beginner in pirate history but have loved them since I was a kid and want to learn more about them

A friend of mine made me a flag for my birthday based on a concept I had. I think it turned out quite well.

I have the privilege of performing a wedding in October. So, I bought a new coat and sash for the occasion. I have a baldric and cutlass, but is there anything I may be missing with my garb? Boots are en route.

I took some advice from my previous post, and after stepping away from the project, I finally came back to finish my Jolly Roger. I may make some minor adjustments to the hair, but I am trying not to be a perfectionist about it.

I'm no graphic designer, but I think it turned out okay. I still cannot draw a good skull myself, so I used a modified skull from Adobe Stock to get the look I wanted. Other than that, everything was made by hand in Illustrator after looking at various references.

The next step is to turn it into a real flag. I may go with a flag printing service at first just to have it, but I would like to eventually make it myself by hand sewing it together.

I apologize for this very vague post but I’m remembering a video where pirate music is playing in the background and there’s a sterotypical pirate voice saying stuff like there be treasure and walk the plank. I also remember skeletons with swords being involved and a lot of old effects of pirate related things appearing and disappearing. If anyone knows where this video may be I would greatly appreciate if it could be found.
