No. No longer doing Blackbeard. I did Ben Franklin after Blackbeard.

An interesting story about pirates is that they wore eye patches when on ship-- unless they were missing an eye-- so that their eyes would adjust more quickly when coming from a dark ship into the light aboard ship.
Unless this
person was the
alpha female at sea, she probably had to wear an eye patch too if she had any duties that involved helping when they were at battle. I doubt if they just stuck the female pirates in some
trunk while in a struggle with another ship. It seems there were a lot of female pirates as well as many escaped slaves went to pirating as a way to survive.
