Shipwrecked Scenario

[Cheeky Actress]

"...There are such English men and women in most places of any great trade, both in Spain and ‘Portangell’ [Portugal], and in some places in Italy, and suchlike houses of entertainment are in most places where any ships come, that trade never failing till it hath confounded both body and soul into Hell, for go where you will, you shall sooner find where you may learn vice than virtue, for the way that leadeth to destruction is wide and easy to be found.” (Barlow, p. 163-4)

Thank you kindly, Mission for the above information.

It is quite interesting that even knowning the 'dangers' of such places (houses, ordinaries, taverns and such), that men/women would still flock to them as if they were moths to a flame; enjoying all the sins, vices, and lustful acts that man-kind through the centuries has always struggled with.

Ah, once I find a topic to watch for I can't resist finding material about it...

“[June 1704] the finest women [in Aveiras, Portugal] that generally appear to common view are the courtezans, who will get by their doors well dressed, and barefaced invite men to them with a glib tongue, but are said to be generally dangerous and hot as their country is; as indeed several of our sailors experienced, but a clap is little regarded there, whether not so dangerous, or from the commonness, I don’t know.” (Ingram/Rogers, Three Sea Journals of Stuart Times,p. 209)
