Captain Jack's preference for weapons such as pistols and sabers is accurate. Pirates rarely worked together and even robbed one another at times. While there was a loose organization in the late seventeenth century called the Brethren of the Coast, its members were buccaneers and privateers, not pirates.

He is said to be a leading member of the Brethren Court, a confederation of pirates. Accuracy: Captain Jack Sparrow is not very historically accurate.He has a deep attachment to piracy and to being captain of a pirate ship. Sparrow is charming and slick and can talk himself into and out of trouble quite easily. Description: Captain Jack Sparrow, as played by actor Johnny Depp, is a lovable rogue who can switch sides in a heartbeat but always seems to wind up on the side of the good guys.Where he appears: The Pirates of the Caribbean movies and all sorts of other Disney commercial tie-ins: video games, toys, books, etc.This is accurate as well, as the quartermaster was the second-most important post on a pirate ship and an important check on the captain's power. He was quartermaster under the notorious Captain Flint: it was said that Silver was the only man Flint feared. His treachery and ability to switch sides back and forth mark him as a true pirate.


Also like many crippled pirates, he became a ship's cook. Like many pirates, he had lost a limb in battle somewhere: this would have entitled him to extra loot under most pirate articles.
