Treasure Island makes some big errors.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Disney's Treasure Island earns a low accuracy score from a pirate history expert. Released in 1950, Treasure Island is an adaptation of the 1883 book by Robert Louis Stevenson. The film, which was directed by Byron Haskin, chronicles the adventures of Jim Hawkins and Captain Long John Silver as they quest after buried treasure.
“The antagonist here, captain Long John Silver, this is where we also get kind of the stereotypical pirate accent of “Arr, matey.” And the actor was a Cornish actor named Robert Newton from Cornwall, England, and he basically used his own natural accent and then really hammed it up, kind of basing it on other local sailors’ accents. So basically, it’s just an exaggerated version of a Cornwall accent. A pirate accent was a unique thing. A pirate accent was just wherever the pirate was from.
“In reality, pirates were after things they could sell like textiles, spices, wine, sometimes enslaved people. If there was cash on board, that was a bonus. The other goods they wanted were things to replenish their own stores; food, water, other forms of alcohol like rum, medicines, ship supplies.
