Pirates: Fact and Fiction
By David Cordingly and John Falconer
Published by Collins & Brown Limited, London, in 1992
This is the illustrated catalogue which was produced to accompany the
groundbreaking and hugely popular exhibition on pirates which was held at
the National Maritime Museum, London, in 1992. The exhibition included
artefacts from Port Royal, Jamaica; Captain Kidd’s privateering
commission; fine portraits of William Dampier and Robert Louis
Stevenson; as well as the Peter Pan costume worn by Pauline Chase in the
1909 London production, and the pirate costumes worn by Dustin Hoffman
and Bob Hoskins in Steven Spielberg’s film Hook.
