One Historian Iv’e looked at was David Cordingly

David Cordingly is a writer and maritime historian. He was on the staff of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich for twelve years where he was Keeper of  Pictures and then Head of Exhibitions. While at the museum he organised a series of major exhibitions including the highly successful Pirates: Fact and Fiction. His books include  Under the Black Flag and Billy Ruffian: the Bellerophon and the downfall of Napoleon.

Pirates: Fact vs Fiction is one particular book I plan to read over the next week, as it relates to the core part of my project and is only 128 pages in length making it fairly short and easy to read and understand
