If you check the html generated you'll noticed that the url has a
confirm parameter. If you check apidoc again you'll see that the
confirm option needs to be passed in the second options hash, ie
link_to 'blah', {options for url}, {other stuff here}

Because if you pass an activerecord object as the :id for a url rails
calls to_param on it, which by default returns id. The preferred form
these days would be to have the appropriate routes and do link_to
'edit', edit_pirate_path(@pirate)
