Swashbuckler 1700

Of cource... I was just saying that he has not replied so lets not give upp to hope to that he would have that cap picture

ok

So he/she is (gender is difficult to determine since the monkey is not shown fully)

Hi... sheck this out: http://pyracy.com/in...eer-circa-1640/ I don't know do I have talents but say is it accurate?

Note that he is not replied yet so he may really have that pic....and i was wrong...

Maybe he has some pics and I was wrong...

Thanks nice quote.... What do you like my signature?

That is still splendid starting point to any Gaop pirate research.

there is some bedtime reading

Does anyone know when did cross staff outdated? It was used (in my knowledge) around 14th century and 15th century and 16th century but I can see them still in 17th like in here (Btw good source for pirate pets see the (though badly drawn) monkey)) and staff is still in 18th century like in here I have always believed that they were replaced by the back staff from 1590s onwards? It seems that they were both in use during 17th century and 18th century but how common cross staff really was in gaop or later?

No, no reason to suppose it's inaccurate. But no reason to suppose it's accurate either, the only source for it again is Johnson, and we know that he made so much of the Bonny and Read story up. There are four women known to have sailed in pirate crews during the GAoP, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Martha Farley, and Maria Critchett. All of whom are also known to have done so quite openly as women. It is possible that one or more women disguised themselves as men in order to go aboard and were never discovered, but it's statistically and practically unlikely. On the whole I agree but if tere were not disguised woman why there was need to forbit them in articles... after all B. Roberts had about 12 rules there would not be space of unnecessary rules...

Correct me if i am wrong (you can always do that )I belive he means this stuff Blackbeard 1724 early edition of Johnson's book http://upload.wikime..._%281724%29.jpg he in late 1724 edition http://upload.wikime..._the_Pirate.jpg He in 1725 Dutch edition http://www.longjohns...age004_0000.jpg The 1736 edition http://www.wilsonsal...ges2/teach1.gif

So it was all about functionality But many visitors get wrong picture of how hard sailing really was man needed to steer ship in below deck, in dark and with just a puny whipstaff... well that is not so serious....

What about her sailor career in Dutch ship is there any reason to believe that it would be inaccurate...

Do you mean with all your coments that there were not women sailor or pirates at all disguised as men and those few real women were openly women?.... Still if there would not be disguised women there would not be for certain prohibitions to bring disguised women aboard ship in pirate articles. Like nowdays there would not be prohibitions to smoking in restaurants if people would not have smoked there.... people have probably said that you are really a killjoy

This is almost at big shock than those jolly Roger facts.... While I trust your theory... I still belive that it was not so simple like you said and it is well posibble that Johnson was rigth at least in some point.... My confidence to many books and Cordingly deteriorated even further now

Well reading more stuff i came accros this in slop shop 1699 "2 cloth mount eare capps" these were (I believe) monteroes....

Well in some History magasine Newport's hook is mentioned..... Oh and here is ship cook in 1799 But this topic is about hooks....

What do you mean in every source says that mary was soldier (as man) in cavarly in Flanders and then she married soldier/ sailor and when he died mary joined Dutch merchant ship way to Jamaica as man. Later ship was taken by Rackman's pirates and so Mary's pirate career begun. You can chek that in here were is Johnson's book Ghop online: http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/historyfiction/viewer.aspx?id=joh

Has anybody found any reference to hand hooks? I have always assumed that these were myth (unlike wooden legs and missing eyes and other injuries which were at least reality among pirates). I have read that some 17th century english Privateer had indeed hand hook but is it just a myth?

So is here any ETW payers? (nice srategy game) it is pirate related and it has land and ship battles in 18th century world (and pirates that are problem to your empire)... Since here is many sorts of people here migth be some....

Hi I was wondering very simple question: were monteroes in common use in Gaop? My research suppor idea that they were more popular in buccaneer's tIme....But were there monteroes in 1699 slop shop since I have read someting like that? I also believe that in this Vigo painting in early 1700s sailor/soldier wears montero.. In a middle picture man with red cap behind rocks note painting is here bigger one here http://ageofsail.dev...oad/vigoooo.jpg

That was what I thought
