The Infamous Pirate

A story of Dust Pirates

BY: MATTHEW GOW

Dust [1] Pirates have been around for centuries and have often been represented as muppets in movies such as Muppets: Treasure Island. Featured in that movie as large grotesque hairy beasts with dust caught in their hair. The dust in their hair is the reason that they pick up their name. Years ago people had not thought that dust pirates had existed but after reading further into pirate stories they found that they did exist. Pictures have been drown to scale of these pirate, and this is what the muppet movie is based off of.

• here are two websites that have to do with the making of the muppet dust pirates:

The movie that was created is the only representation of the dust pirates that are around to this day. We leave it purely to our imaginations to know what the dust pirates looked like. All we do know is they were as bad and ruthless as any other pirate just hairier and dirtier.
