It’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day on Saturday.
So we dipped into the treasures of the Shields Gazette archives to find these retro photos. They all show people dressed like pirates in times gone by but can you spot anyone you know?
And will these photos bring back happy memories? We think they’re bounty.
Enough of the pirate puns. Take a look through our selection and re-live the memories.
