Aarrrgh, that brings a tear to me one good eye. It's nice to be appreciated ocassionally. Speaking of one good eye, did i tell ye the story of my missing body parts?
Well i got the peg leg from a furious cutlass fight with another pirate. Sliced me leg clean off he did. And the hook was the outcome of a battle with a man eating shark. Lucky to get away with just the loss of a hand.
I lost the eye, hence the patch, when i looked up at the rigging and a seagull crapped and hit me right in the eye. Now you may be thinking to yourself that a seagull depositing a small package on the eye shouldn't cause enough damage to lose the eye...........but, well you see, it was my first day with the hook....aarrrgh.

I wonder how many know really what keelhauled means? It was quite dangerous and painful. :oo:

I believe very few survived, lterally torn to shreds by the barnacles.
It was abolished by the British Navy in the mid 1800's I think, but a lot of captains were a law unto themselves and continued the practise anyway.
Bit like corporal punishment, the Navy imposed a maximum of 12 strokes but the captain would order multiple consectutive punishments.
I shall leave you to describe keelhauling to the masses, I imagine it would be worse on a bigger boat/ship and have no idea how long it would take from bow to stern.

Arrrrrrr,
I be spending said afternoon on board the square rigger "Duyfken" taking a scurvy pack of sea dogs in the form of the local yacht club a sailing. We hoisted the Jolly Roger, they was all dressed as pirates, there was copious amounts of various alcoholic beverages and a good time was had by all. After four hours of sailing and drinking we decanted them back at the Marlin jetty. A more murderous pack of bloodthirsty pirates than have sailed these waters for a hundred years or more put to see on that day.

No, bona fide pirate patch. See I'm wall-eyed these days (since breaking most of the bones in my head) and it makes reading less strenuous.
