Belly boxes


Recommended Posts

About a year and a half ago I wanted to fashion myself a belly box, but thanks to my natural inclination to do little or nothing I still haven't made one. In the thread I started then asking for advice I was told that a cartridge box was found on the Whydah. Does anyone have any pictures of it or any idea of where I can find out more info about it?

I'm inclined to buy one but the earliest I can find is the 1750s:

The Quartermaster General

Pepe's Possibles

C & D Jarnagin Company

I really like the idea of making a fabric one like was found on the Whydah though. Every time I look at period pictures of the famous captains I see their boxes and I wants one.

Ok....

Be there a picture some where of this Whydah cartridge box?

G Gedney Godwin has quite the selection of cartridge boxes.

willie wobble posted to the right thread. There is a picture on page 2 of the thread, about 1/3 the way down the page.

As it turns out, I've received a PM from someone making repros in the near future so I think I'm going to buy one from him. Sloth wins over industry yet again. :rolleyes:
