Shivering Sharks!
Captain Horatio Pugwash's crew on the Black Pig was Pirate Barnabas, Master Mate and Pirate Willy. There was also Tom, the irritating cabin boy!
Captain Pugwash is a fictional pirate character in a series of British children's comic strips, books and animated films created by John Ryan.
He famously appeared in a British animated TV series, first shown on the BBC in 1957.
Blistering barnacles!
His enemy was Cut-Throat Jake. Jake is the captain of the 'Flying Dustman' and his crew were all ruffians. He speaks with a stereotypical West Country accent, and is easily recognisable by his eye patch and enormous black beard.
Cut-Throat Jake may owe some inspiration to Edward Teach, more popularly known as the legendary pirate Blackbeard.
Staggering Starfish!
Other characters on the show were Jonah, the ship's carpenter, but always hitting his thumb with a nail, and Dook, a thug on Jake's boat.
Peter Hawkins was the voice for all the characters. (He also spoke for the Flowerpot Men).
Captain Horatio Pugwash made his debut appearance in a comic strip format in the first issue of The Eagle in 1950, then appeared regularly as a strip in Radio Times. In 1957 the BBC commissioned a series of short cartoon films. Ryan produced a total of 86 five-minute-long episodes for the BBC, shot in black-and-white film, but later transferring to colour. The series had a memorable signature tune "The Trumpet Hornpipe". The last series of Pugwash shorts by Ryan was produced in 1975.
Pugwashisms
Captain Pugwash is renowned for his exclamations, owing something to the style of Captain Haddock in The Adventures of Tintin:
"Dollopping doubloons!"
"Coddling catfish!"
"Lolloping landlubbers!"
"Suffering seagulls!"
"Staggering stalactites!"
"Nautical nitwits!"
"Plundering porpoises!"
"Kipper me capstans!"
"Tottering turtles!"

The apocryphal story is that the cabin boy was named 'Roger' as in 'roger the cabin boy' His real name was Tom. There was also supposed to be a sailor called 'Master Bates' but this is false.
The term 'Pugwash' has also been said to be a euphemism for oral sex.

Pirate Barnabas, Master Mate, Pirate Willy and Tom the Cabin Boy.
The smutty names that many people think were his crew was actually a joke which a large British Newspaper found out to their cost.
