As well as drawing on my knowledge as an historian, I have used a variety of sources for the articles. The books I referred to are list on this site. I have drawn on information from various websites, in particular the well-rearched Pirates and Privateers by Cindy Vallar. Some information comes from historical podcasts and documentaries, most notably the Gold and Gunpowder YouTube channel. I try to use primary sources where available, such as trial documents and eyewitness accounts. I have tried to keep the articles as close to the proven historical truth as possible, even when it sometimes appears to contradict the popular narrative.
