jollyjacktar Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 A picture of the whole kit laid out Interpretive style ( iknow the quality isn't great but the close ups are better) Close up of the extra cloaths in the pack, cut or cloath hose, work frock, spare pair of woolen breeches, and thrum cap and blue linen neckcloth Then a closeup of the afore-picture parcels, laid out on display Closer shot of the bowl / The Far side of the hammock which includes my working gear Close up of my rigging belt( Made by Hawkyns) my knife and marling nail, they are laid out on a proclamation for the gathering up of wandering sailors and sea-faring men Close ups of my other working tools, sailmakers palm, fid, twines, needles, & seam rubber All in all it's a great kit for representing a common seaman of the late 17th or early 18th century and at a whopping 14.1 pounds it's not to heavy to sling on your back Yours & co C.

Iron Jon Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 When I saw this at the fort I thought it was awesome. This post with all the pictures confirms it. Jonathan Washbourne "Jonathan Washbourne Junr of Bridgwater appeared in court and was ordered to pay £5 fees and charges or be publicly whipped 20 stripes for his abusive and uncivil behaviour to Elizabeth Canaday Late of said Bridgwater by Thrusting up or putting of a skunk under the Cloaths to her Naked Body And then saying he had Done the office of a midwife."
