The person played by Sir Michael Caine was called Blair Maynard. The character has the same last name as the Royal Navy Captain Robert Maynard R.N. (c. 1684 - January 4, 1751), First Lieutenant of the H.M.S. Pearl, who killed the legendary pirate Blackbeard in a fight. Such a connection is referred to in this movie's story when the pirates make such an association with the same last names.
