  1. Those two images are from an interesting book called (believe it or not) An historical account of all the voyages round the world: performed by English navigators; including those lately undertaken by order of His present Majesty. The whole faithfully extracted from the journals of the voyagers. Drake, undertaken in 1577-80; Cavendish, 1586-88; Cowley, 1683-86; Dampier, 1689-96; Cooke, 1708-11; Rogers, 1708-11; Clipperton and Shelvocke, 1719-22; Anson, undertaken in 1740-44; Byron, 1764-66; Wallis, 1766-68; Carteret, 1766-69; and Cook, 1768-71. Together with that of Sydney Parkinson ... and the voyage of Mons. Bougainville ... To which is added, an appendix. Containing the Journal of a voyage to the North pole, by the Hon. Commodore Phipps, and Captain Lutwidge. The original four volumes contain some reprints of the actual accounts, in addition to narrative commentary by the book's publisher and quite a few pictures. However, as SB1700 noted, there are clearly factual errors in the book like Cook apparently time-traveling to meet Alexander Selkirk. So caveat emptor when reading it. You can find pdfs all of these volumes (separately) on-line by searching for "An historical account of all the voyages round the world." Great. it is sad that often period books have fiction with the facts.....
  2. hmmm.... it seems thise book makers were fooled since it is told like fact in there. Indeed even that description I posted sounds little cliché.... It is really unlikely that it he was real at all ....
  3. here is another pic with slave with earring ( and dandana) circa 1700 front piece of one edition Buccaneers of America (and guess what it is Dutch) http://jcb.lunaimagi...~2&mi=14&trs=32 sorry for posting this in different post I promise to get rid of that habit.
  4. Unfortunate example that illustrators did sometimes some errors. See in early 18th century illustrator has put Drake in tricorn..... oh well http://jcb.lunaimagi...2&mi=63&trs=153 Here is interesting map/ picture of santo Domingo from 1671 note nice houses and hanged man http://jcb.lunaimagi...&mi=104&trs=152 Barbabos in 1695 (there Stede Bonnet was born) http://jcb.lunaimagi...2~2&mi=2&trs=32 later than gaop but note sailor http://jcb.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/detail/JCBMAPS~2~2~504~100429:COUNT-DE-GRASSE-in-the-SUGAR-TRAP?qvq=q:sugar;lc:JCB~1~1,JCBBOOKS~1~1,JCBMAPS~1~1,JCBMAPS~2~2&mi=0&trs=229
  5. Oh but in book it is said like it was real. how old story? It seems that he is one of those character like Charlotte de Berry.
  6. Sadly for Barry Burg, it was not a pirate case (though I seem to recall it featured in his book somewhere). Unsurprisingly, it was a sodomy case. Much of our view of the past is tempered by the very prudish Victorian ideals of the 19th century. We imagine that filth and obscenity are a modern phenomenon because our great-grandparents wouldn't have stood for it. But if you get back beyond the mid-19th century you'll find all sorts of lewdness, swearing, public nudity, bawdy songs and poems etc. Actual I know that prudish Victorian ideals are more 19th century stuff but still. I have know it but not understand it too clearly....( the idea of old times as religious and clean time is not correct) I actually have make the same point somewhere but indeed good that you help me reminding that since I so often forget things. I am not lying I have thought same way but I still would believe those times more clean... Since this is still historical I dare to hint this here and there is whatnot and notting prudish search "18th century naval naughtiness" in google
  7. This has beed here before but from 1698 http://jcb.lunaimagi...~2&mi=28&trs=38 this from 1706 http://jcb.lunaimagi...~2&mi=2&trs=332 On more interesting GHoP edition from 1740s http://jcb.lunaimagi...2~2&mi=6&trs=82 this is from 1707 http://jcb.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/detail/JCB~1~1~6896~10790008:-Whaling-ships-crushed-by-ice-on-Gr?sort=Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle&qvq=w4s:/what/engraving/when/1701-1750;q:ship;sort:Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle;lc:JCB~1~1,JCBBOOKS~1~1,JCBMAPS~1~1,JCBMAPS~2~2&mi=41&trs=82 this 1720 pic is interesting http://jcb.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/detail/JCB~1~1~2702~4400004:Britannia-americana,-of-Beschryving?sort=Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle&qvq=w4s:/what/engraving/when/1701-1750;q:ship;sort:Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle;lc:JCB~1~1,JCBBOOKS~1~1,JCBMAPS~1~1,JCBMAPS~2~2&mi=51&trs=82 this is from same year also http://jcb.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/detail/JCB~1~1~2723~4470005:Voyage-de-Thomas-Gage--Tome--II-?sort=Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle&qvq=w4s:/what/engraving/when/1701-1750;q:ship;sort:Normalized_date%2CCreators%2CPublisher%2CTitle;lc:JCB~1~1,JCBBOOKS~1~1,JCBMAPS~1~1,JCBMAPS~2~2&mi=77&trs=82
  8. Poor buccaneer http://jcb.lunaimagi...2~2&mi=9&trs=13 This is from 1770s but it is interesting and still quite close to Gaop and it represent buccaneers http://jcb.lunaimagi...2~2&mi=5&trs=13 This has same date but I wonder that captain cook means I think it should be rogers since Serkirk did not meet cook http://jcb.lunaimagi...~2&mi=75&trs=83 Cartounce from 1730- 1740s http://jcb.lunaimagi...~2&mi=29&trs=34
  9. I see what that a pirate court case? (you may never know what they did) While we may not know, remember the discussion on that nearly useless book Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition that Burg couldn't find any evidence of such. He would have been all over such a court case. He might have written a whole series of new books on that case alone given that he managed to write the first one without any solid proof at all. The one who said that could be woman...
  10. One of my favourite quotes from a period court case: "he thrust his yard into my fundament" SB1700, it rhymes with hunt, and if you have it in Finnish it's probably called the 'K' word. I see what that a pirate court case? (you may never know what they did) I have always thought that Gaop people would be more religious and would not swear very much but I was wrong ( damn I have often too clean vision of history)
  11. Englishman. I would like a hint if you have any time to spare between the tea times
  12. From GHoP in section of Black Bart " .... Sutton used to be very prophane; he happening to be in the same Irons with another Prisoner, who was more serious than ordinary, and read and pray'd often, as became his Condition; this Man Sutton used to swear at, and ask him, what he proposed by so much Noise and Devotion? Heaven, says the other, I hope, Heaven, you Fool, says Sutton, did you ever hear of any Pyrates going thither? Give me H—ll, it's a merrier Place; I'll give Roberts a Salute of 13 Guns at Entrance...."

  15. I Found this from a David Gordingly's (has many otker writers like M. Rederiker) book "Pirates An Illustrated History of Privateers, Buccaneers, and Pirates from the Sixteenth Century to the Present"French buccaneer Louis le Golif ( known as “borgne- Fesse or “Half- Ass”) write about his raid in Caracas “ I marched in front, as was right , my pistols in my belt, my fine high boots and plumed hat, and a sword at my side." He was certainly captain but interesting...

  18. It depends on what web browser you are using. But before proceeding, make sure that you know your login information and passwords for accounts you may have stored in your browser. In Firefox, go to the Tools pull down menu and select Clear Recent History. A requestor box will pop up, click on the Clear Now button - I have everything selected. For Internet Explorer, go to the Tools pull down menu and select Internet Options. Now select the General tab from the requester pop up, go to the Browser history section and select the Delete button. A secondary requester pop up will appear, select various options and click on that Delete button – again I have everything selected. Beware: that clearing everything from your cache will likely delete your login and password information for any accounts stored by your browser – so make sure you know all of your login information and passwords. ok I have once succeeded to schance my photo without doing that perhaps I can do it now.....
  19. I am going to change but the same thing is still in the way How can I clear my cache?
  20. it seems that f**k is that old hmmmm.... Damnation is swearing not allowed here? *****
  21. (feeling myself stupid) What it can mean there is many words with "c" at the beginning ? (feeling myself stupid)
  22. Hmmm I have heard somewhere (well history magasine) that cowboys in reality (in late 19th century) did not even use "cowboy hat" much. Bowler was much more popular style.... Anyway That hat in pic. It is round hat typical to the age and since brim is modest it seems to be sailor's hat.... Mission you have yet to find who pub member looks like that mustachioed fellow with dark suit I have one theory of that "cigarette" it can bee chalk and with it the man is marking barrels and boxes and the sailor is having break and that is why he is sitting. also it can be just a end of the clay pipe and the other end is in his hand.... Is somebody there having a picnic? see the food basket there
  23. It seems that somehow they often managed to do it without stitching (especially in gaop when tricornes were little bit looser than later ones) like this ( I mean the boy there) I continue my posting of period (or nearly period) hat pics above Russian Hat of the Semenovsky Life Guards, 1727–30. above that was Sligtly later hat from 1748 above This is circa 1720
  24. I did not remember how beautiful they were until now. Thanks.
