Brit.Privateer Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I wrote on my blog about sailors' possessions during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. I cast the post around analyzing one of the most stereotypical depictions of a sea chest, Billy Bone's from Treasure Island. Figured that would draw the attention of people who are more interested in the pirate aspect of that period's history. http://csphistorical.com/2015/07/07/a-sailors-possessions/
William Brand Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 That was a very nice read and I enjoyed your sources. I'm glad you mentioned the purchase of added food and spirits.

Jas. Hook Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Brit.Privateer - Thanks, an interesting read... it could be expanded into an events table top display.
