We hope you enjoy this preview of an episode from our back catalog available to our premium subscribers.

Its influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X", schooners, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.
