Some are interested in why the pirates need a bandage to one eye? It seems that the answer to this question is simple - the pirate could lose one eye in battle. But in reality, everything is much more complicated. Firstly, there is no documentary evidence that the pirates generally wore bandages in front of their eyes. They began to portray them in the drawings more than 100 years after the era of piracy ended. And in general, the pirates left behind very few historical documents, they were not fond of recording their adventures.

And there is also a version of the American ophthalmologist Shiidi, who believes that the pirates were needed to be better to see in the dark. And they put her on a completely healthy eye. In battle, the pirates were on a light deck or in a dark hold. Seconds to get used to the darkness, they could cost a pirate of life. Therefore, the robbers wore a bandage to one eye.
