Bump, one week away.

Ye HA 2 More days.

Thank you Kass, .

Shhh...PAtrick you wern't supposed to tell.

Well folks, sailors wore boots or should I say wear cause they still do. I have proof of this in the 17th, 18th, 19th and the 20th centuries. Did they wear them all the time? Of course not. But they did wear them and they did have a purpose. I am not going to state purposes because that’s speculative. Above are images, one a pair of boots from the shipwreck Batavia, early 17th century. Two, a couple French seamen, 18th century and the rest are early to mid 19th century. Two images show sailors wearing shoes, but have boots with them as gear. Now all these boots are very similar that span three centuries. They are not the musketeer type of “Bucket Boot”, nor are they the stiff riding boot, but a tall, looser leather boot with the tops folded down. True there is only one pic of a GAoP seaman with these boots, but if this type of style of boot has been with sailors through three centuries, it is my hypothesis that they were worn more than once during the GAoP buy sailors and pirates. In conclusion sailors wore boots. I will still continue to keep up the search for the holy grail.

Don't worry your loved here, Rouge Mermaid.

If they watered it down it could last longer.

Foul weather gear?

Did a little bit of research, Foul Weather Gear, consisted of oilskins and sea boots? Then I did some search sea boots, just no bloody pictures.

Oh Petee... That's not a Pirate! Where's his parrot, tricorn and earrings? And his Rav4 isn't even flying the Jolly Roger...

Ah, but his Rav 4 does start with a big "R"

Bucket Boots!

^Cool new Sig, I shot him once.

Notice the pistol bucket on the horse.

I also heard somewhere that they used egg or egg whites. Could that be correct?

The third and fourth images are portrails of "Hudibras" who was a mock hero during the english Civil war, good eye Kass.

Thank you you, and I will.

I noticed that too, about the beer street. Your print is really clean.

Looks like a fum place to visit. Mmmmm.....Beer Street.

Is that why they call this part the "bucket"? *hick*

Another awesome purpose of the bucket. Kass, I'd buy ya a beer anytime.
