archizzy 11/28/24 2:25:46 PM #4:	Id say no just for the fact many people arent going to associate him with being a pirate like they do Blackbeard, Black Bart, Captain Kidd (can be argued yo be privateer) Charles Vane, Anne Bonney, Mary Read and so on. And on that note the one who should be ultra famous is probably mostly unknown in the west and thats Ching Shih. Seriously look her up. Side note I really miss the Starz series Black Sails. It was so well done. Im a sucker for pirate stuff anyway and I generally like a lot of the HBO and Starz shows anyway but damn that show was good. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.
