Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl has been crowned Britain's favourite pirate movie of all time.
The first Pirates film topped a national poll conducted by Discovered Authors to celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day, and to launch this year's Undiscovered Authors literary competition.
Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp in the film, was named the most popular pirate, beating off stiff competition from Captain Morgan, Captain Hook and Long John Silver.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island was voted the best pirate novel.
The survey also revealed that "Shiver me timbers" is the most popular pirate catchphrase, closely followed by "Arr Me Hearty".
