When I hear “Pirate sword“, I always think of the cutlass - in particular, this picture of Francois l’Ollonais, one of the most terrifying filibusters. Befittingly, he’s seen here against a backdrop of sinking ships, drowning castaways, and a burning settlement. One can imagine the blood-curdling screams of women and children, gunfire, and the hacking of blades.
