YARRRRR!
On this 'oly day, talk like a pirate day, I inform thee:
Pirates likely didn't talk like that.
A few may have, Blackbeard was from Bristol, and the Admiral Benbow pub in Treasure Island was inspired by the Llandoger Trow on King Street.
But there were pirates from all over the world. Why would they all develop a south-west England farmer accent?
Disney cast Robert Newton as Long John Silver in Treasure Island (1950). He hammed up his Dorset accent. That's where the accent is from!
