Pirates - REAL pirates - did not.
The actors who PRETEND to be pirates are, for the most part, emulating Long John Silver, the pirate character in Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel "Treasure Island", or Peter Pan's pirate character Smee. Which is where Disney's theme park ride "Islands of the Caribbean" got the notion.
