* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When one of the crew needs to be reprimanded, he is keelhauled, a practice of tying off a man and dragging him along the barnacle-covered hull of the ship to ''shred'' his flesh. We don't see the full thing, but get to hear his anguished thrashing against the hull as he goes under and comes back up the other side ''barely'' alive and covered in lacerations.

Added DiffLines:

* EqualOpportunityEvil: The pirate crew are very multicultural, contrasting with the all-white upper class EvilBrit. This is absolutely historically accurate, as classical pirates generally lacked racial prejudice and welcomed anyone who brought a valuable skill or at least a pair of sturdy hands to a team, regardless of a race or age (though they have little use [[PirateGirl for the women]], mostly for morale reasons).
