The Redcoats in “Pirates of the Caribbean”
In the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, there was a bit of a historical mix-up. The redcoats, famously associated with the British military, appeared in the film despite being historically incorrect for the 1720s setting.
The red coats weren’t officially issued to the British military until 1747. During the period, soldiers did wear red, but it was a different, darker shade.
