No. Was it good? They'll show it again.

It was apparently as factual and accurate as any account of the man. It was
based on the written account of one of his closest crewmen who lived to tell
the tales. It was interesting, if a bit downplayed from the popular
misconceptions about the pirate. Unfortunately storms rolled in and I lost
my satellite feed at the very end.

He gave his wife to his crew as a present, said to heck with it all,
went back to Ocracoke and got blown out of the water...he died...

Well thats just dandy Mooron! You Canooks had the finest working
sailing ships on the sea IMO from 1920 to the 30's.
