Question - do you mean on a regular ship or on a pirate ship? ...

What size is your spoon Mission? It puts me in mind of a baby/toddler spoon. Cant wait to see it in person! ...you too.

Mr.Cross, one would behave in a proper military manner, always observing the proper protocol and treating your superiors with the respect they deserve.[/size][/font]

Or with the respect they don't deserve.

That question has never been resolved in all the years that we have been beating this poor old nag.

Actually, if you read the introductory thread we were talking about authentic vs. non authentic. At least I think that is what I read.

Welcome Jimmy.

Tank you once again Lady. Tis nice t'learn bout those what we know only in passing.

Welcome.

Sounds great Mission but I can't justify the cost at this time. Too bad because my unused passport expires this year. would have ben nice to use it.

Alas, my feet are too big.

As to encampments and wall tents: Click here and have fun reading.

Good for you. When at pirate festivals I will not have pox or scurvy or any other ailment other than being over weight and feeling older than I wish I did. My character is a woman of means since she is a woman of "girth". She will be of the merchant class therefore comfortable with lower and middle class folks and when the public goes home she will take a shower and put on her comfy slippers. See you at the festival.

Now back to the discussion. Being a woman of means I can on occasion wear earrings. hehe

My tuppence worth.

Pirates were like any other other criminal. Look at the mob or any gang these days. It is not always easy to spot the members yet there are some that you look at and say "now there is a criminal". I would guess that in a time when the general public wanted to conform to the average or emulate their betters a successful (a.k.a. not dead) criminal would prefer to blend in. Yes there would be the exception when someone would want to emulate the criminal. As recently as the 1960's, if memory serves me, society was just getting use to the idea that it is okay to be different. I imagine that it would have been even more conformist 200 years ago. They don't call it a revolution for nothing.

Either way I am not an anthropologist and I don't have any documentation. This is all conjecture and this is Twill and maybe I should just sit down and shut up.

Sitting down.

Deleated ...wrong thread.

Happy day to you Master Hawkyns!

Just remember that not all events are Hollywood friendly (MANY are). Don't be insulted if you are not permitted "behind the ropes".

Happy Birthday Chainshot!

Could be worse, could be Frankenstein.
