My Lyfe Amonge the Pyrates

"Who is this Captain Ward? And what treasures did he record?" "I'm surprised no one has translated the book. It was published in England about fifteen years ago. Sold very well, I gather. My Lyfe Amonge the Pyrates, by Capt. J. Ward."

- Christophe-Julien de Rapièr and Jack Sparrow

My Life Amonge The Pyrates was a book published in England in the 1710s. Written by J. Ward, it described and explained many of Pirate Lores and maritime legends.

About the book
The author of the book spent many years among the pirates, and collected all the stories and legends he heard. When he returned to England, he decided to write a book. Since he wanted to stay anonymous, he used a pen name to sign the book. Edward Teague obtained a copy of the book, and gave it to his young son Jack Sparrow for reading. Cutler Beckett also obtained a copy of the book, and from it learned of the lost island of Kerma and the treasure of Zerzura.
