Cat Hatter posted:I saw them murder a bunch of guys, but even with the vast majority of crew on the beach doesn't a ship that size have something like 600 soldiers total? Even if they only left 5% of their crew onboard, they still outnumber the pirates. Maybe I just expected too much out of unarmed soldiers whose training may have consisted entirely of "here's how to put a metal ball into a cannon as fast as possible". gently caress tent The really really big crews on Man o Wars didn't really happen until the late 1700's and early 1800's It might of had 300 sailors and 100 marines, possibly more. Many could of died in the battle, most probably on the beach looking for gold or out looking for pirates. Repairing the Lima Problem is having that many extra's. He did say there was over a hundred soldiers on the Beach.

Pirates liked fast ships, they often used smaller ships when bigger ones were taken and burnt. It's better to have 5 fast ships then one big floating fortress. The slave ships were built for speed, because the cargo had a finite life span in the hold of a ship. Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, was a slaver ship.

It'll look good rolling into Nassau. Wonder if they are using the same on deck set. It doesn't look anywhere close to being big enough. Rocksicles fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jan 27, 2015 |

I was curious if there was a bunch of behind the scenes pics sat on a website somewhere. I remember there was something leading up to season 1 that showed a lot of ship building

Pretty sure the Ranger was sunk, isn't that how he knew Gates was dead? Glasses is lucky he didn't get keel hauled. Or stuck on an island with one pistol shot.

well it's effectively 40 something cannons rolling about on the waves, when the fort has an elevated position and a stable gun platform. Those things could fire well over a mile, accurately (for a cannon). Plus you need men to operate the ship. Henry Morgan captured 3 forts, i forget exactly where. But they took 2 of them with sword and musket, and the Spanish surrendered the last. To be fair though he had a fleet and men in the hundreds. Back when being a pirate was a government gig.

One of the cannons they found on the wreck of the Queen Anne's Revenge, weighed 3,000lb's. probably less minus all the ocean life stuck to it. That's a spicy meatball when there would of been a lot of them, they said it only fired 6lb shot. 24lber's were about 5,000lb each weren't they?

I'm just reading about a 1716 battle/declaration of war between the Spanish and the English in the Battle of Cape Passaro, near Sicily. The biggest gun ship in two fleets was a 90 gun monster, and it was English. How different was the Spanish fleet? I couldn't find a 90+ gun ship until like 1765 Half of Europe was killing each other in boats. Crews treated as property, Pirates life would have looked pretty sweet to me. I genuinely love this stuff but i'm an aviation nerd.

Lamadrid posted:94 guns was a first rate in almost every navy in that time and only used when you needed your big swinging dick flopping in the wind.About 60 24lb cannons or so, and the remaining ones of different poundage. I'm watching it now. Amazing how naval warfare hardly changed for 300 years, besides slow technological advances. The movie is like 90 years after after Black Sails. Those anchors though! 11 tonnes, all hand winched up

Must have been known she was a bit of a go'er. The old boy called her out resulting in Flint kicking him out his own house. It does seem like they are using Lady Hamilton from much later in history who was Lord Nelson's mistress. He announces that Nelson used a similar signal at the Battle of the Nile: "England knows Lady Hamilton is a virgin. Poke my eye out and cut off my arm if I'm wrong."

Falukorv posted:I like Hamiltons idea too. Yeah they sort of did like 200 years before, but they all did it, the Dutch, French, Spanish. The English used them for a long time due to having no real Navy, the Royal Navy wasn't founded until 1660. The Spanish and Portuguese had been pulling gold and poo poo out of the americas for about a 160 years. During the lead up to the golden age it was out of hand, so they killed most of them.

I have two french female friends and one of them sound a hell of a lot like her. Accents are a funny thing. Max isn't from France, she's from somewhere else that speaks French, an island if a remember.

He means in the show. She's from a French colony, which in 1715 would be a limited to the Americas, give or take a few places.

Mouse Dresser posted:Considering the show is set in the 1700s, I'm certain it was created for the actor by the costume department. In close up the stitches seen around the collar area are hand done, and the leather is artificially aged. My old dear is a leathersmith, she reckons it's a 100% custom made, like virtually everything else in the show.
