According to Captain Nathaniel Uring, who was shipwrecked and forced to live with the logwood cutters for several months in 1720, the British were "generally a rude drunken Crew, some of which have been Pirates."
Enligt Kapten Nathaniel Uring, som led skeppsbrott och tvingades att leva med blåträhuggarna under flera månader 1720, var britterna "i allmänhet ett oförskämt och onyktert manskap, av vilka en del hade varit pirater."
