That was what I was thinking. There should be plenty and yet they seem to be under represented. I mean the 2nd lieutenant who has been in the service for 20 years is legitimately rare. It requires him to be just jumped up from the ranks or to have been recently demoted for an offense so dire that he was that close to being dishonorably discharged. But pirates from lower class London? They had to be all over the place back in the day.
