Where do pirates get their hooks?

Second hand shops!

Did You Know?

"Second hand" means both used/pre-owned and literally a second hand (the hook replacing a hand)! While pirate hooks are iconic in popular culture, historical evidence suggests most injured pirates didn't use elaborate hooks - simple prosthetics or stumps were more common. The famous hook hand became a pirate stereotype largely through fictional portrayals like Captain Hook in Peter Pan and Long John Silver in Treasure Island!
