An album of "Irish Pirate Ballads" that doesn't contain the Pogues & Dubliners' Irish Rover cannot be taken seriously!
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

All save the last of the Rover and the captain's dog, of course... dog died during the sinking and as for the last of the Rover, somebody has to be around to tell the tale...

Or he could just be a drunk Irish braggart with fanciful tales to make the ladies swoon... likely the latter... :)

My family was in the uh...shipping business, yeah, that's what it was, out of Sligo. We was always told the Rover carried too much sail and they just drove it under. That measles story was just an excuse fer poor seamanship.

Irish pirates do it on the floor. Haven't you seen the bumper stickers on their ships?

One of 'em has a stick in his hand. It betrayed him, and they all fell over, Domino effect, a well known problem amongst pirates.

They're hiding from the view of the ship they're about to attack. If you look closely, you'll see that all those standing are dressed as women (i.e., they're decoys). We use that trick all the... I mean, I've heard that pirates use that trick all the time.
