Because Peter Pan wanted a fight over Captain Hook. In most versions of Peter Pan Captain Hook's left hand was cut off because most people are right handed. But in some versions of Peter Pan they did it backwards by switching the cut off hand to the right they did that in the oringinal work by J.M Barrie because J.M Barrie is left handed.
Names of pirates in the Treasure Island?
Here are some of the main characters from the book, Jim Hawkins, Billy Bones, Dr Livesey, Squire John Trelawney, Blind Pew,Tom Morgan, Long John Silver, Israel Hands and Ben Gunn, there are more but these are the most well known.
After receiving a royal pardon in June, 1718, Blackbeard (Edward Teach, 1680-1718) was suspected of continued piracy around the Carolinas. In November, the governor of Virginia sent two armed sloops, Jane and Ranger, to arrest Teach. The ships were blasted by the guns of Teach's ship Adventure, but when his crews boarded, they were overwhelmed and Teach was killed. He was decapitated and his head placed on the bowsprit of the Jane (his identification being required to collect the reward offered for his capture).
He isn't buried. He was killed at sea during a battle with Lieutenant Robert Maynard who was sent after Blackbeard by the governor of Virginia. His body was decapitated and the body was thrown overboard. The head was tied to the bowsprit when Maynards crew headed back to shore. Legend has it that the headless body of Blackbeard swam around the ship three times before it sank.
This all took place in Okracoke Inlet off of North Carolina.

Blackbeard has been dead for about three centuries, so we can't just ask him.
He's known to have had multiple wives/mistresses. As to what he got up to on the High Seas ... who knows. He certainly didn't have any women on board his ship, but then again, he wasn't on a years-long voyage of discovery or a regimented military mission, he was out hunting for ships to plunder, and there's no real reason he couldn't have put into any nearby port pretty much any time he felt like a little companionship.
Why are there so many pirates in the Caribbean?
Piracy has been a problem in the Caribbean for 5 centuries. There are a multitude of hideouts, and no central government authority for the region. At various times, piracy was accepted as long as the victims were from rival countries; for example, the British government paid British merchants to capture slave ships in the early 19th century. The Spanish, Dutch, and French similarly encouraged piracy at times. Even today, occassional acts of piracy occur in this region.

Who were the parents of Blackbeard?
Nothing is really known about Blackbeard's early life, other than he was born Edward Teach (and some say it was actually "Thatch"), in Bristol, England.
Like many pirates of the 17th and 18th century, Blackbeard (Edward Teach, 1680-1718) was drawn to the lucrative opportunities of raiding commercial shipping in the Americas and the Caribbean.
During the Queen Anne's War from 1702-1713, many sailors were hired to be privateers, which were basically pirates paid to attack enemy merchant ships during wartime, used as a type of economic warfare. The privateers were paid to be "legal" pirates working with the navy, pillaging enemy cargo ships.
After the war, all these privateers were left without jobs, and turned to the one job that they knew how to do well: pirating. Only instead of working for a set wage, they got to keep whatever they took. Blackbeard was one of these privateer-turned-buccaneers. Blackbeard went to Nissan, in the Bahamas, which was at that time a center for pirates. There he joined the ranks of Benjamin Hornigold, and started his career as a pirate.
Later, he conducted raids along the coasts of the Carolinas, which proved to be his undoing. In November, 1818, a small fleet hired by the Governor of Virginia caught up with Teach and engaged his ship. In the ensuing hand-to-hand battle, he was killed. The lead ship returned to Virginia with the head of Blackbeard tied to its bowsprit.
In pirate stories where do pirates go when they die?
The most prominent illustration of modern day piracy is in Somalia where local navies have been fighting for control of the area. An international task force has been assembled to deal with the problem as the pirates have used ransom to obtain a little over $150 million.
