Cornwall is a good choice for a pirate theme.  There are locations on the
Cornish coast that have been used for smuggling for hundreds of years.
That's what they said on the tour I went on in 1981 anyway, in
the quaint, unspoilt fishing village of Polperro, where they had made
a major heroin bust in a cave that had been a quaint historical
smugglers' cave for centuries.
