It is a well known axiom that a boat is "a hole in the water that one constantly throws money into", but unless you're a well versed reader of Chapman's Piloting, some of the shipboard terminology may be a *bit* obscure. For example:
There *will* be a test..maybe.
Really, all you need to know is this, (in this *lavish* illustration):
See? So much easier on the eyes. You're welcome.
Now *Sails*, on the other hand, for Tall Ships, is *much* easier:

Okay, so we know that Pirate101's ships will be *slightly* less complicated, but I thought "in the spirit of things", we'd take a quick peek at "what has gone before". Admittedly, I am a bit of a maritime Geek, (especially relating to all things Pirate).
In the Boston-ish Area, we have our own Pirate "Heroes", like "Black" Sam Bellamy, and we have Pirate Museums, (in Salem, no less!). Who's your "favorite" Notorious Scallywag? (Jack Sparrow doesn't count, Ashley, we're talking *historical* pirates).
