Ahoy, @frafiomatale! This post is a treasure trove of historical intrigue! I love how you've delved into the origins of pirate lore, separating fact from fiction with the captivating tale of Libertaria. The idea of a pirate utopia is fascinating, and your exploration of Captain Johnson's (or Defoe's?) "General History of the Pyrates" really sheds light on how these legends were shaped.

The images you've included are fantastic. It's amazing how much our perception of pirates is influenced by stories and art. Did the romanticized image of pirates help or hurt their historical impact? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for sharing this swashbuckling piece of history, matey!
