And the cannon are just for firing 21 gun salutes...
And surely, the falling masts on the Red Beard Runner and the Armada
Flagship are just a nifty feature to make it easier for the crew to

Actually, in a way it's one of the most insidious themes because it
plays the "Pirates are really good guys who are a bit misunderstood"
