Ahoy, mateys! Editor Sarah assigns your homework.
One Piece
Goonies
This is cool and allegedly real history

okay - I think I can do this one, as long as I can get a story idea. Got a snippet of a scene in my head, now I just gotta expand on it...
Some more SFnal piratical tales worth reading in preparation, all free and in the public domain:
- Prey of the Space Falcon by Wilbur Peacock
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/62546
- Grandma Perkins and the Space Pirates by James V. McConnell
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/63812
- The Pirates of Ersatz by Murray Leinster
https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/24035
Another suggestion: The Swashbuckler, starring Robert Shaw and James Earl Jones. It certainly got me back into pirate movies, and as a salute to the old pirate movies, it's very tongue in cheek and outright fun. Great inspiration for a writer.
