The first broadside is from 1704 and is a song relating the account of the taking of a French Privateer ship and crew by a Captain Gordon

The next two are songs concerning the trial and execution of a Captain Thomas Green and his crew for the crimes of piracy and murder.

The Documents are created on various popular broadside sizes and are printed on parchment paper to give them an authentic feel.

$35 for the set of 3

How much would you charge for just the one ballad concerning Captain Thomas Green and his crew?

"Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?"

---Captain William Kidd---

(1945)

Most tunes were recycled (hence how our national anthem used to be a drinking contest song...) so therefore I would suspect one could use any common tune from that era and be reasonably accurate.
