A brief history of Pirates in London
https://www.johnsand.co/a-brief-history-of-pirates-in-london/

Due to the rampant piracy on the river,
the Thames River Police was founded in 1797


Execution Dock

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_Dock
https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryMagazine/DestinationsUK/Execution-Dock/

near the River Thames shoreline at Wapping, London

used for more than 400 years to execute pirates, smugglers and mutineers
who had been sentenced to death by Admiralty courts.

The "dock" consisted of a scaffold for hanging.

Its last executions were in 1830.
George Davis and William Watts, convicted for piracy for the Cyprus mutiny,
were the final hangings at the dock on 16 December 1830.

The True Story That Inspired Pirates Of The Caribbean | The Real Treasure Island | Absolute History
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZfX7Y-i3Wc


Absolute History
runtime 46:42


How "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson likely got its inspiration.


Before there was Pirates of the Caribbean, there was Treasure Island. Critics hail it as the most famous pirate story in history.

Since its publication over a century ago, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island popularized the most potent symbols of pirate lore: swashbuckling seamen, uncharted tropical islands, and dog-eared treasure maps marked with an 'X'. And now, it appears that the novel may have been inspired by a real treasure - on an island no one has ever searched - until now.

The Real Treasure Island follows Alex Campus as he travels to exotic locales to unlock the true story behind a literary masterpiece. From the foggy Scottish Highlands to the sun-kissed islands of the South Pacific, Campus follows a treasure trail of clues -each one triggering dramatic recreations that tell the true story behind Stevenson's tale.
