Pick of the pirates

Ahoy landlubbers! To celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Take 5 are running through our favourite pirates and pirate lingo.

Jack Sparrow is the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea and enjoys the freedom that his occupation provides, drinking rum, seducing women, and searching for supernatural treasures. He appears in the Pirates of the Caribbean films and games. Johnny Depp based his portrayal of the role on Keith Richards.
