Raphael Adolini was an Italian born Moroccan raised Barbary pirate. One of the most feared of his day but because of the mysterious disappearance him and his whole crew in the height of his career, others like Blackbeard have been remembered with more notoriety. His ship, the "Muerte Negra," was feared especially because unlike many ships which flew the Jolly Roger, Adolini's ship flew a red flag, the "jolie rouge," which signaled to its captives death to all. The phrase "dead men tell no tales," has been ascribed to Adolini. It was carved above his cabin door, when his ship was found floating vacant east of the Burmuda Triangle in 1718, The flintlock pistol rumored to have been one of Adolini's favorite prizes was taken from Ivar the Boneless after Adolini attacked and plundered the ship of the Viking pirate in April of 1715.
I can only assume that the authors knew this obscure piece of pirate history and used the timing to their advantage. Although what happened to Adolini it is not stated in either the novels or the movies, in the Dark Horse comic series "Predator 1718" Adolini gives the pistol to the Predator for saving his life from his mutinist crew.
Hope this helps.
