There is a comprehensive article on the development of the 'International Speak Like a Pirate Day' on Wikipedia.
It gives R. L. Stevenson's Treasure Island as the source of Nancy's Shiver me timbers!, but I suspect that AR would
have us believe that many of her other pirate sayings are her own inventions.
