There is Anne Bonney & Blackbeard. Capt. Morgan and Barbary corairs. There are also maritime books and nautical knickacks. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Frye Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I note that Morgan is wearing a baskethilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Maria Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 I see. There were baskethilt braodswords in the 1660s, weren't there? He's also in 18th c. dress not 17th c. dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Frye Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Baskethilts extend back into the sixteenth century. It's hard to see the details in the picture, but they were fairly well developed by Morgan's period. Quite a few baskethilts from the 17th century have been found in American digs, particularly in Virginia. He does look rather 18th-century-ish, doesn't he?
