Here we go:

Red Legs Greaves: pirate; Scottish buccaneer of the 1670s; Wikipedia says he operated in the Caribbean, but of course true pirate fans know that’s redundant when you’ve already said he’s a buccaneerGorgon Heap: Muppet, this guy:

3. Marvin Suggs: Muppet, this musician:

And this instrument is called the Muppaphone!

4. Pierre Le Grand: Pirate, a French buccaneer — although he may be fictional . . . yeah yeah, call the lawyers on me

5. Canoot – Pirate! Not Canute, and not a Muppet; rather, a French pirate active off New England in 1698

6. Floyd Pepper: Muppet. Almost everyone knew this one when I went through these last week; the guitarist of the Electric Mayhem:

7. JP Grosse: Muppet, the owner of the Muppet Theater.

Stogie and all

8. John Bear: Pirate. English, 17th Century, the Caribbean.
