The TV show was made to a specification displaying exact ship and costume details, based on the era of the pirate republic in Bahamas early 18 c.
The cast and crew obviously went to great lengths to replicate the times and those personalities who sailed the Atlantic pirating and warring against British and Spanish fleets. The accuracy of the story is debated, as it is a fictionalized serial; but it offers tremendous accuracy into the time scale, battles and characters of that era.
