Hey all,

I'm both enjoying my day off from work, and researching for a previously-mentioned smuggler / pirate story.

I just thought y'all would enjoy some of my research.

This website, http://www.thepirateking.com, in particular is awesome. There is a TON of information there, and much of it is explained better than I have ever read.

Ranks on board a pirate ship:

Sailboat terms:

Welcome. Are you by any chance writing a naval or pirate story?

Feel free to share it with us. :)

Some of these older history subjects are very hard to research. I've spent a lot of time studying, and almost bought several books for the same purpose. Let me know if you find some good articles.

These are very helpful, especially for someone who is writing about pirates in their novel etc.

Thanks for sharing, Mborn! :)

More research! (Short story this time.)

Here's a fantastic diagram of all the parts of a third-rate ship of the line:

Here's a ton of pictures of a model ship. The blog itself is pretty interesting, but these pictures are great.

An interesting incident concerning a peaceful mutiny:

And I named a ship in my story the "HMS Sandwich", because I think it's hilarious.

Crazy, right? The funniest part is, there are FIVE other ships with the same name! How's that for originality?

Meh, if you really want it. It's less of a WIP than a PIW (Progress In Writing). It's mostly just a funny story to send to my cousins, who are the inspiration for the characters.

But yesssss, it'll be available on request. :)
