They then proceeded to the UPPER deck to CHANGE into their swim TRUNKs. it was time for their ANNUAL dip. But, alas, their fun was cut short! They noticed the YACHT with its OAKEN interior. There was the young CALIPH writing in his LEDGER and thought hmmmm perhaps we should go visit him.

Women created a shift in piracy on the High Seas by curbing the amount of scurvy aboard buccaneer vessels by adding celery to pirate diets.
Blackbeard shyly accepted the women's role in regulating medicine on board ship and often would thank them by asking his second-in-command to cancel their deck swabbing duties. Blackbeard did prefer rum to celery as did almost all of his crew. Except the deeply religious members who had been kidnapped off of the merchant ships Blackbeard and his crew had sunk. The upper crust of Blackbeard's crew stored a trunk full of change from raided sunked ships. They had an annual dividing of the spoils among the rest of the crew. In a ledger on Blackbeard's ship was an account of treasure taken from a slave ship which had once been the prize oaken yacht of a very young caliph. Blackbeard's crew had paid dearly for the plumb prize loosing timber in a fire fight. Some of them had to pluck huge splinters from their limbs while others had died from much bigger wood shards from the slaver's blunderbusses' loads hitting the ship's wooden rails, masts, and decks and throwing up lethal wooden missiles.

The pirate crew had taken some things off the slave ship: a ticket from a slave auction, cuffs for slaves, chains that often made a thump on Blackbeard's inner deck and many collars. These spawn of slavery were often too much for even Blackbdeard's conscience to afford to bear. |

Blackbeard and the slave ship.

These spawn of slavery were often too much for even Blackbdeard's conscience to afford to bear. Blackbeard awoke to a shrill whistle from one of his look-outs who had spotted a very familiar corsair ship far off the starboard bow. His Master-at-Arms called the crew to arms. Now that other of his crew were awake he decided it was time to settle his score with his sworn enemy. |
