Right, the Irish one, I vaguely remember, she had a chapter in there too.

When I heard about Pirates of the Carribbean I was excited for five minutes before I realized it was about the fucking Disneyworld ride with talking squids and other such crap. (And this at a runtime longer than the Godfather! Sacrilege!) I can't believe the real Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts and the rest aren't considered good enough stuff for a commercial blockbuster, but that shit and its sequels made like 3 billion dollars. A culture corrupted by its own triviality, bored even with the exciting parts of real history.
